how long does it take to drive from washington State to alaska?

Question

How long does it typically take to drive from Washington State to Alaska? Additionally, what are the speed limits in Canada along this route? Are they reasonably high, or are there stretches where the limits are lower? I understand that speed limits are in kilometers per hour, but could you provide a conversion to miles per hour? Is there a segment of the journey where the limit is at least 75 mph or higher?

Yes, you can drive from Washington state to Alaska through Canada. Most of the roads are good, but there’s always a lot of construction, especially further north. No super high-speed highways though. Once you get to Dawson Creek then get on the Alcan (Alaska Highway) up to Alaska, it gets pretty rugged. Got to take it slow through the mountains. Taking my time, I did it in 5 days. Driving straight through you can do it in 2-3 days. Double that or more for in the winter (October through early May).
Oh, and you will need a current passport as well as valid driver license and vehicle insurance to drive through Canada from the US.

Yes, you can drive. It&rsquo;s over 2000 miles and takes about 48 hours of driving time, i.e., it takes as long as driving to New York.Don&rsquo;t expect to go 80 MPH &mdash; for most of the way it&rsquo;s a two-lane highway, with some of the pavement in better condition than others.

Canada has about the same speed limits as we do in the USA
By mapquest   from Seattle  to Juneau  is 40 hours
 and to Anchorage  its 45 hours
