Last year, the Klondike Highway between Whitehorse and Dawson City was bad due to repairs. Some stretches were fine, others were downright nasty. The Top of the World Highway was much nicer, and the Dempster was better too.
This year, the Alaska Highway is rougher in spots that weren't so bad last year. Many frost heaves and dips showing up, even on stretches that were repaired/rebuilt last year.
The stretches they rebuild can be 5-10 km of chipseal. Nasty big pebbles they're using now too - my car's windshield finally bit it - a truck going the other way tossed a good sized rock onto my car.
So you won't be able to avoid gravel / rocks.
