Alcan Highway

Today vacationers travel from British Columbia north through the Yukon Pass on their way to Fairbanks Alaska thanks to one two-lane roadway the 1522-mile long Alaska Highway. A bit treacherous in spots and best driven in the few summer months the region provides it's an unrivaled engineering feat that took 11000 soldiers nearly 4000 of them black only 8 months to build! Travel back to 1942 as they bulldoze their way into history while connecting the Lower 48 to the Alaskan Territory.
