At some point that whole area could use an upgraded roadway (4 lanes total most likely, up from 2), and when they do that they need to put in a bike path along next to the highway, or a part of it like they did between Fairbanks and Ester.  How long till that happens is the question.  The DOT moves slow on things like that sometime.  The road there is extremely busy at times (I miss the days it was much slower).  Instead of projects like this, they have been dumping money in to that bridge to nowhere (which I am glad is cancelled).
