Please, it is the Alaska Highway!
Alcan seems to be the term used by Americans, possibly because the military called the project that in 1942. After WWII, the US turned the route over to Canada. The highway was officially titled the Alaska Highway. It has been called that for more than six decades.
I was born and raised in Yukon along the ALASKA HIGHWAY, at mile 1202. So I take it kind of personal because the highway is sort of like my hometown.
Okay, rant over. :B
