The Alcan–Beaver Creek Border Crossing (Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a border crossing point between the United States and Canada. It is located on the historic Alaska Highway, which was built during World War II for the purpose of providing a road connection between the contiguous United States and Alaska through Canada. Beaver Creek, located on the Canadian side of the border in the Yukon, is the westernmost community in the country.[1]

Until 1971, the U.S. operated its border station at Tok, Alaska, nearly Шаблон:Convert away from the international Canada–United States border. This station inspected traffic entering the U.S. on both the Alaska Highway and the Top of the World Highway. In 1971, American border inspection stations were constructed near the border both at Alcan and at the Poker Creek–Little Gold Creek Border Crossing.

Canada initially provided border inspection services out of a log cabin in Beaver Creek before upgrading it to brick in the 1950s.Шаблон:Cn The current steel border station was completed in 1983; it is situated at Шаблон:Coord, Шаблон:Convert away from the actual border, the furthest from the border crossing of any Canadian border station.
