According to the Alaska Department of Transportation, there are about 4,900 miles of paved roads in Alaska.
Very few.
Alaska
Quite a few. Very scenic, and good fishing!
If you want to drive across Alaska, look at a map. The few highways that exist do not span the state. One can drive the southern areas and into the interior, but north of Fairbanks the roads are unimproved and are open seasonal.
There are roads that lead to Alaska. They are just out of the way. Why don't you just fly?
The drivers who choose to drive the ice roads are attracted by the adventure, challenge and high pay of the job.
I went to Alaska in 1998 and all the main roads were paved except for several sections of the AlCan which were being improved. What a trip! go for it! You'll never regret going. Depends where you are going, some of the roads are just gravel. I lived there almost two years.
