It is amazing what a real need will produce. The USA's War Department needed an all-weather supply route that was out of range of Japanese naval aviators and FAST and that road was the only way. Would it even exist today if not for World War II? (the USA's flag itself might still have 48 stars).

Note that the mileages are only right with I-A1 and I-A3 ending at each other in Anchorage, and the I-A3 listing makes no mention of a junction at I-A4, which it would if they all ended at each other.

Did not realize that I mislabeled I-A1 as I-A3 between Anchorage and Palmer. I made that map in GIS ten years or so ago and don't have a way to update the raw data now. But did at least change the incorrect shield on the png file and corrected the map at https://www.interstate-guide.com/alaska/

So... nothing needs to change?

I meant "signed" as Interstate A-1. But no worries if Alaska isn't that interested, I was just curious.

How long does it take the change to propagate out to everyone browsing?
