[edit] SAFETEA-LU

I removed (bolded!) language saying it was "all" of Alaska Route 2, since the High Priority Corridor list itself says Corridor 67 only goes as far as Fairbanks, but note List of Alaska Routes; the Elliott and part of the Steese are also numbered 2 and they aren't included in that definition. Kind of pedantic but that's all too long for an edit summary. —Zero Gravitas 03:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Four-Laned

The stretch of the Richardson Highway that is four lanes south from Fairbanks extends to just south of the main gate to Eielson Air Force Base. I would say that to most local residents Eielson is a better landmark for the southern end of the four-lane stretch than "Salcha," since the area known as Salcha actually entends for many miles south from Eielson to about the area of Harding Lake. Travelers on the Richardson Highway through this area cannot possibly miss Eielson. McGehee (talk) 16:22, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
