U.S. Bicycle Route 8 (USBR 8) is the northernmost U.S. Numbered Bicycle Route, which runs between Fairbanks and the Canada–US border in the state of Alaska in the United States.[2] [3] [4]
USBR 8 lies entirely within Alaska, and much of it follows the Alaskan Highway.[4] It has two spur routes. The routes were approved by AASHTO in early May 2011, making them one of the first expansions of the U.S. Bike Route system since 1982.[3] [4] [5] USBR 8 has connections to U.S. Bicycle Route 97 (USBR 97) in Fairbanks, U.S. Bicycle Route 95 (USBR 95) in Delta Junction, and U.S. Bicycle Route 108 in Tok.[3]
