Route Description
Alaska Highway 11 is 414-mile (666 km) long and runs from north of Fairbanks to Deadhorse (Prudhoe Bay).

Once called the North Slope Haul Road (a name by which it is still sometimes known), the James W. Dalton Highway, it was built as a supply road to support the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System in 1974.

The highway, which directly parallels the pipeline, is one of the most isolated roads in the United States. There are no towns; the few settlements are truck stops. The 240 miles (384 km) from Coldfoot to Deadhorse have no services for travelers at all. Though the highway comes to within a few miles of the Arctic Ocean; beyond Deadhorse are private roads owned by oil companies, and private vehicles are not allowed on these roads. There are however commercial tours that take people to the Arctic Ocean.

It is named for James Dalton, an Alaska-born engineer who supervised construction of the Distant Early Warning Line in Alaska and, as an expert in Arctic engineering, served as consultant in early oil exploration in northern Alaska.
