  • Richardson Highway / Steese Expressway Corridor Study Draft Purpose and Need
    Richardson Highway / Steese Expressway Corridor Study Draft Purpose and Need The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF), in cooperation with the Alaska Division Office of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is developing a Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) Study for the Fairbanks, Alaska area Richardson Highway / Steese Expressway corridors from Badger Road interchange (Richardson Highway milepost 360) to Chena Hot Springs Road interchange (Steese Highway milepost 5). Purpose The purpose of the study is to collaborate with State, local, and federal agencies, the general public, and interested stakeholders to develop a shared corridor concept that meets long ‐range transportation needs to improve safety, mobility, air quality, and freight operations. Additionally, the concept will promote improvements that reduce transportation deficiencies (e.g. delay and congestion), enhance the corridor’s sustainability (e.g. infrastructure longevity and maintenance costs), and minimize environmental and social impacts. Project Need Summary I – Safety Safety for motorized and non‐motorized traffic needs improvement by developing a corridor concept that: Upgrades the transportation infrastructure to current ADOT&PF design standards where practical Reduces conflict points Reduces the frequency and severity of crashes at “high crash locations” Improves pedestrian and bicycle crossings II – Mobility The mobility of people and goods in the corridor needs improvement by developing a concept that: Reduces delay

  • Parks Highway Road Log
    Bell’s Travel Guides Parks Highway Road Log Mile by Mile Description of the Parks Highway so you always know what lies ahead. Anchorage, Alaska to Fairbanks, Alaska Over twelve years and $150 million went into the completion of this route which extends through 358 miles/576 km of Alaska's most rugged terrain. Yet this highway need not be feared, because it is the state's widest and best year-round road. There are over 40 bridges to cross with the longest being a 1050-foot span of the Susitna River at mile 104. The most spectacular, Hurricane Gulch Bridge, at mile 174.3 is only half the length of the Susitna Bridge, but it is a breathtaking 254 feet above the white water of Hurricane Creek. Denali, the nation's tallest peak, lies about half way between Anchorage and Fairbanks and can be seen from both areas on a clear day: but there's a much better view from mile 70 at Willow. At mile 104 there is a good view of the three tallest peaks in the Alaska Range: Foraker, Hunter and McKinley, left to right. At mile 132.5 you enter Denali State Park. Denali "The Great One" is the Indian name for North America's tallest peak. Perhaps the most spectacular view from the highway of this 20,320-foot mountain comes at mile 134.5. The mileage figures in the following highway description correspond to the numbers appearing on the mileposts in place along most of the highway. The description begins in Anchorage and follows the route's 358 miles to Fairbanks.

Box 112500 Juneau, AK. 99811-2500 RE: Public Comment 2018-2021 STIP Amendment 2 Cape Blossom Road Dear Ms. Brantner: Happy Holidays! This letter is written to provide public comment and notify the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT/PF) that the Northwest Arctic Borough (NWAB) supports construction and continued funding of the Cape Blossom Road Project. The NWAB was notified that the latest STIP Amendment #2 proposes to remove construction funding until the project is re-evaluated. We urge the ADOT/PF not to remove construction funding due the critical need for building the road and infrastructure to reduce the cost of living in our Borough. The high cost of transporting supplies and fuel continues to create undue hardship for many of our residents. The Borough promotes and supports responsible development and views the Cape Blossom Road as essential to the future development of a Regional Port and Harbor that can facilitate economic transportation of goods, fuel, equipment and materials to and from the region. Making progress and moving this project forward is vital towards the economic, social and cultural benefits to each community and organization that supports this project. Since 2001, when the City of Kotzebue passed Resolution 02-19 supporting the inclusion of the Blossom Hill Road Corridor and Port Site in the Alaska Department of Transportation's Northwest Arctic Transportation Plan, our leaders have worked cooperatively to prioritize the Cape Blossom Project through local government support resolutions include the Native Village of Kotzebue, Kikiktagruk Inupiat Corporation and the Northwest Arctic Leadership Team consisting of the Northwest Arctic Borough, NANA Regional Corporation, Maniilaq Association and the Northwest Arctic Borough School District.
