The Milepost 2015

Road conditions on the Alaska Highway are not unlike road conditions on many secondary roads in the Lower 48. It is the tremendous length of the highway, combined with its remoteness and the extremes of the Northern climate, that often result in surprises along this highway. Historically speaking, however, the Alaska Highway has rarely been closed by any weather-related event, and even then usually not longer than a day.
