About A-2
From Tok area to Fairbanks area
Interstate A-2 is an unsigned Alaska Interstate route of roughly 202 miles that links the community of Tok with Fairbanks in the interior of the state. It follows portions of the Alaska Highway and the Richardson Highway, joining the eastern entry corridor from Canada to one of Alaska's two main population centers.
As with the other routes in the program, A-2 carries no Interstate shields and is traveled under the names of its underlying highways. The corridor passes through sparsely settled interior country, and most of its length is ordinary two-lane highway rather than freeway, with higher-standard segments concentrated near the Fairbanks urban area.
The route's purpose is to bring the interior highway connection into the federally aided Interstate system, supporting the road link between the Canadian border region and Fairbanks.

History
Interstate A-2 was designated in 1976 along with the rest of Alaska's unsigned Interstate routes, overlaying an Interstate number on existing state highways so they could qualify for federal Interstate funds while remaining unmarked to the public.
