Alaska Highway - Haines Junction to Beaver Creek/border
The Alaska Highway is the ONLY year-round land highway to Alaska. 80 to 85 per cent of the traffic on the north Alaska Highway is U.S. traffic going to or from Alaska.
This would include travellers such as those in RVs (you), and transport trucks. Dozens of transport trucks roll by our place each day year-round on their way to Alaska.
Canada has invested about $1.5 billion on the entire Alaska Highway.
The US has contributed about $460 million.

Highways and Public Works director of transportation engineering Paul Murchison said there is about $14 million worth of work left paving the Haines Road. The government also estimates $65 million in work paving from Haines Junction to Destruction Bay. On top of that there is between $60 and $120 million worth of work related to permafrost between Destruction Bay and the U.S. border, he said. That same section will cost $140 million to paved.
