List of state, US, and interstate highways in Alaska

Alaska Routes , state highways in Alaska , have numbers and names. The number assignment from 1 to 11 and 98 did not take place according to any fixed scheme. The Klondike Highway , built in 1978, was only given a number in 1998 on the 100th anniversary of the Klondike River gold rush . Several highways that are longer than the Klondike Highway have not been numbered.

Highways 7 and 10 consist of disjointed sections. The numbers can refer to several differently named highways. For example, Alaska Route 1 consists of the Glenn Highway , Seward Highway , Sterling Highway and Tok Cut-Off . Individual highways also have multiple numbers. The Seward Highway is part of Alaska Routes 1 and 9 as well as Interstate A3.

Interstate highways and their route

Interstate highways in Alaska

There are four interstate highways in Alaska , the US counterpart to the European highways, although there is only a connection to the other US states via the Alaska Marine Highway or via Canadian highways. The streets are named A1 to A4 and are financed in a similar way to the interstate highways in the " lower 48 ". However, they are not marked as such and only exist on an organizational level. The federal government assigned these routes their status in order to have a legal basis for their financing.
