Moving machinery in and out of Fairbanks

Fairbanks is the hub of Interior Alaska, linked to Anchorage by the Parks Highway and to the Lower 48 by the Alaska Highway through Canada, and it is the staging point for freight headed north on the Elliott and Dalton highways toward the North Slope. Machines leave Fairbanks on Parks Highway, Richardson Highway, Steese Highway and Elliott Highway, and a load taller than 15 ft needs a DOT&PF permit for the exact route.
