Loosely BC37A Stewart-Cassiar Highway
You could make an argument for that being the most important crossing to Alaska, since it's the only access to Hyder, and Hyder residents share a lot of community resources with Stewart, BC (including school).

I mean, there's only 87 people in Hyder.  I'm pretty sure that the amount of goods that come on the Alaska Highway serve a few more people in the remaining part of the state.

Absolutely, and I would probably rate the Alaska highway higher, but it does show how subjective the notion of "importance" would be. Shut down the Hyder crossing and the town is cut off. Shut down the Alaska Highway crossing and goods can take a longer, more expensive route.

Also of note for Alaska, do you count the ferry system connections to Bellingham and/or Prince Rupert?

If we start doing that, then we have to do the same for Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Maine too.

I-65           56,812   KY


Having lived down there for 11 years, that really doesn't sound right. I-65 seemingly always has more traffic than I-64.

* I-64 Kentucky Border AADT data is from 2016, other numbers posted are from 2017 (but some of the data is older).
** Complete listing includes all border river crossings, state primary routes (posted on either side), and a few special cases.  There are plenty of other minor land crossings with very low AADT.
*** Easter Egg.  Should actually be Preston County CR-108.  Turns out that Preston County has CR numbers higher than 99.  Other than the LSR numbers, never heard of any 3dCRs.

Not sure, but that is the way I read it: https://indot.public.ms2soft.com/tcds/tsearch.asp?loc=Indot&mod
