Alaska Highway Winters Well, Now Firm Roadway
Whitehorse Yukon Territory May 27 The Alaska military highway built in 1943 for drainage has become a firm roadway despite fears of swamp subsidence during warm weather. Mild winter and spring kept roadbed solid with no washouts and construction focused on three permanent bridges. The road remains a critical lifeline for supply between Edmonton and Fairbanks and supports defence operations with private trucking under US Northwest Service Command supervision. A few temporary bridges may fail during the June rise as glacial waters swell rivers.
