The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) is developing plans to improve and widen the 3rd Street corridor between the Old Steese Highway and Hamilton Avenue in Fairbanks, AK. Proposed improvements include additional through traffic lanes, exclusive right and left-turn lanes at intersections, and existing signal improvements. In addition, west and eastbound bus pullouts will be provided to facilitate public transportation. The purpose of the proposed improvements is to decrease delay by improving traffic flow and safety for motorized and non-motorized users.

Design and engineering support is being provided by USKH Inc. The DOT&PF is currently in the process of reviewing plans and right of way needs for the preferred design alternative.
