The James W. Dalton Highway, usually referred to as the Dalton Highway , is a 414-mile road in Alaska. It begins at the Elliott Highway, north of Fairbanks, and ends at Deadhorse near the Arctic Ocean and the Prudhoe Bay Oil Fields. Once called the North Slope Haul Road , it was built as a supply road to support the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System in 1974.
