Delegate Dimond Seeks Funds for Alaska Highway Build
Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond says he will seek 1,970,000 dollars in the coming Congress session to construct the Alaska section of the proposed International Highway from Beatie to Fairbanks. Much of the 174 miles will be by hand, with about 1,600,000 for day labor and the rest for bridges and culverts. The project would open Virgin Amber lands for mining and the road would be 24 feet wide with a 15 foot gravel surface. Dimond expects the Alaska portion to spur Canadian section development, estimated at nearly eleven million dollars.
