U.S. Bicycle Route 8

U.S. Bicycle Route 8 (USBR 8) is the northernmost U.S. Numbered Bicycle Route, which runs between Fairbanks and the Canada–US border in the state of Alaska.[2][3][4] The route lies entirely within Alaska, and much of it follows the Alaskan Highway.[4] It has two spur routes. The routes were approved by AASHTO in early May 2011, making them one of the first expansions of the U.S. Bike Route system since 1982.[3][4][5] Bike Route 8 has connections to U.S. Bicycle Route 97 in Fairbanks, U.S. Bicycle Route 95 in Delta Junction, and U.S. Bicycle Route 108 in Tok.[3]
