Alaska Highway, a road in Alaska and Canada. It is 1,390 miles (2,237 km) long. Beginning at Dawson Creek, British Columbia, the Alaska Highway runs generally northwestward through northern British Columbia, southern Yukon Territory, and east-central Alaska to Delta Junction, where it merges with the Richardson Highway.
The Alaska Highway was built during World War II, in 1942-43, by United States troops as a supply route for armed forces in Alaska. It was maintained by the United States as a military road until 1946, when the Canadian portion was turned over to Canada. The highway was opened to the public in 1947.
The Alaska Highway is the only highway that connects Alaska with the roads of the other U.S. states and Canada.
올려주신 지도 보고 두 강이 동쪽으로 흘러가는 것을 잘 볼 수 있었습니다. 두 강이 만나는 것은 몰랐습니다. 감샤합니다.
어제 모임에서 어떤 분이 Alaska Highway를 이용해서 여행을 꼭 해 보라고 하시는군요. 겨울은 안되고 여름에만 하라고. Yokon과 Northwest Territory 주만 봐도 캐나다가 얼마나 광대한지 압도되는 것같습니다.
