Here lies the true end of the Alaska Highway

Most RVers headed for Alaska look at a map and generally conclude that Fairbanks is the end of the Alaska Highway. Not so, say the folks in Delta Junction, about 90 miles before you get to Fairbanks. They rightfully point out that the Richardson Highway, passing through Delta Junction from Valdez to Fairbanks, was already in place before the Alaska Highway was built, thus the builders only had to open the road as far as Delta Junction.


The folks in Delta want to be sure you clearly understand this. This large sign is on the left as you pull into town, and the mile marker in front of the visitors center clearly label Delta the "End of the Alaska Highway."
