In the west, the route begins at the end of a dead end near the Tanana River at Manley Hot Springs. This point is also the beginning of the Elliott Highway , which the road follows past the junction with the Dalton Highway at Livengood to its end at Fox at the junction with the Steese Highway . On this it then runs south to Fairbanks . The Steese Highway merges into the Richardson Highway , which the Alaska Route 2 follows to Delta Junction , where it merges into the Alaska Highway , which has its northwestern end there.
