Completed in 1942, the ALCAN highway (also known as the Alaska highway) was created to send supplies and troops to Alaska after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The road stretches 2,288 km/1422 miles from Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Delta Junction, Alaska.
From Dawson Creek, the highway extends almost 968 km/595 miles to Lower Post where it enters the Yukon. The highway winds through the Yukon for about 885 km/550 miles and crosses into Alaska at mile 1221/km 1964
This Waymark is located at the small rest area just south of US customs (mile 1221.5).
Continuing on to Delta Junction at mile 1422/km 2288, the Alaska Highway joins the Richardson Highway for the remaining 98 miles/158 km to Fairbanks.
