Can anyone add a map of the highway to the article? Ronduck 21:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Surface

The road was formerly gravel for its entire length, but a long-term paving project is nearly half completed. The statement made above about a long-term paving project is false. The road cannot be entirely paved due to the harsh elements. The road is recovered with a mix of gravel and a rubbery asphault at the beginning of spring each year. The above statement would have been corrected, but there is no edit option for that section.

Is there a source we can quote for that? Stan 19:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External links

I removed the external links pointing to personal blogs, trip reports, etc. and inserted the official BLM page for the Dalton Highway. External links should follow WP:EL. If you feel an external link to a personal blog/trip report/etc should be included, please post it here. Tedder (talk) 12:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
