Happy Valley Camp Airport (HVY)

The Alyeska Pipeline Service Company built the 400 mile "Haul Road" from Livengood, just north of Fairbanks, to the north slope oil fields at Prudhoe Bay. The pipeline parallels the road. Mostly gravel, the road was built to handle the hundreds of heavy construction vehicles that used it daily.  They completed the road in 1974 in just 5 months.  Air strips were needed along the route to support the construction camps.
