About this listen

The Alcan Highway:

The Alaska-Canada Highway, universally known as the Alcan, is an epic, 2,200-kilometer roadway stretching through British Columbia and the Yukon into Alaska. It stands as one of the great engineering feats of the 20th century, born entirely from wartime panic and necessity.

We will talk everything from it's origin to it's construction, including the builders and it's major obstacles, to it's legacy, tourism and even travel warnings.

So buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy, 1387 mile ride
