History of the Alaska Highway |
The Alaska Highway's route through northwestern Canada and Alaska is located in the discontinuous permafrost zone, where the soil is frozen solid in some places and boggy in others. The Army Corps of Engineers began arriving in Alaska in the middle of March 1942, approximately a month after Pres. Franklin Roosevelt authorized the highway. For their mission, more than 10,000 soldiers brought 250,000 tons of materials. Surveyors worked about 10 miles ahead of the bulldozers, map out the exact route, and the mend behind them cleared the path. A battalion of bulldozers would knock down trees and clear a path approximately 50 to 90 feet across. A battalion of bulldozers cleared the way by knocking down trees in a path roughly 50 to 90 feet across. In fewer than eight months, the seven regiments of the Army Corps of Engineers worked and layed down an astonishing 1,500 miles of highway. The men who built the highway had overcome environmental, technological and physical hardships to complete what many consider one of America's greatest construction projects. -e |
