Sheep Creek Road & West Tanana Drive Roundabout Public Comment Deadline

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) has scheduled a public open house to present plans for a new roundabout at the intersection of Sheep Creek Road and West Tanana Drive in Fairbanks. The project, identified as NFHWY00902 / 0002(549), is funded by the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program and is currently in the preliminary design and environmental review phase. Proposed improvements include updating intersection illumination, signage, and signalization, as well as enhancing drainage and parking facilities. A significant component of the project involves connecting existing recreation trails with a planned network in the Gold Hill Road area by extending a walking path across the intersection and along the north side of Sheep Creek Road. The open house will take place on November 17, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the West Valley High School Library. Project staff will be available to answer questions, and the public is invited to submit comments by November 30, 2026. The project is being managed by Engineering Manager Ethan Graetz.
