Alaska Highway Mile Zero dispute heats up locally
The debate over where the Alaska Highway officially begins centers on Dawson Creek BC and Fort St. John BC. US Army Engineers long established the Dawson Creek start, with Harold W. Richardson's Engineering News-Record series bolstering that claim. Local officials in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek weigh in, citing historic construction routes and PRA standards used to link Dawson Creek to Fort St. John.
