Alaska Military Highway - In 1942 the Company was selected by the Public Roads Administration to undertake one of the sections of the military highway from Dawson Creek, Alberta, Canada to Fairbanks, Alaska, known as the Alcan Highway; and was assigned the section immediately east of the Alaska- Canada boundary extending about 150 miles eastward. This highway transversed a wild, unsettled country with little or no natural access. Much of the line was timbered, and many lakes, marshes and good sized rivers were encountered. Weather conditions were harsh, varying from high heat in the long midsummer days to sixty and seventy below zero in winter. The contract was successfully completed to the requirements of the government, and a Certificate of Merit was presented to the company in recognition of its servies. The total amount of the contract for this work was $8, 436, 000.
