Wagon Road, Yukon
Lt. Walter Dudrow’s platoon of 42 men made quick improvements to the 50 mile wagon road from Carcross to Whitehorse in early spring. Carcross and Tagish residents had taken as much as three days to travel this rutted road to Whitehorse. In August of 1942 the 93rd sent two companies to bring the road up to Pioneer Standards. General Hoge changed the route to make this part of the Alaska Highway. Now the highway extends from Whitehorse to Carcross and on to Tagish and Teslin River – a V-shaped path with Carcross at the point. As with the rest of the Pioneer Road, the PRA would improve it to the road it is today
