Pan-American Highway

Japanese: パン・アメリカン・ハイウェー(英語表記)Pan‐American Highway
Pan-American Highway
An international highway that runs through the Americas. It starts in the north from Fairbanks, Alaska, passing through Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the rest of South America, before reaching Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost island of Argentina. Its total length is 208,933 km. Its construction was proposed at the 1923 Congress of the Americas as an alternative to the Pan-American Railway project conceived in the 1880s as a means of realizing Pan-Americanism, which aimed to unite North and Latin America culturally, politically, and economically.
