Yes, that's bad. Do keep in mind, though, that in quite a few places the Alaska Highway was just tundra. It was built in wartime (WW2) to get a land supply route to bases in Alaska as fast as possible. The intended use case was a convoy of military trucks with a engineers and repair gear who could fix the road as they travelled along it. Impressive, but different from a modern highway.
