terminus_b=The Elliott Highway is a highway in the U.S. state of Alaska that extends 152 miles (245 km) from Fox, about 10 miles (16 km) north of Fairbanks, to Manley Hot Springs. It was completed in 1959 and is part of Alaska Route 2. There are no immediate plans to extend it westwards.

The highway is paved and in generally good condition year-round between Fairbanks and the junction with the Dalton Highway, but reverts to an unpaved road for the final 80 miles to Manley Hot Springs. This portion of the road, particularly in winter, can be very challenging to navigate due to overflow of ice and water on the road, high-wind areas and drifting snow. There is no cellular telephone service available on the Elliott Highway, though there is fuel available in Minto, and traffic, particularly past the Dalton Highway cutoff can be extremely sparse. Travelers are advised to check road conditions before traveling this road through the state transportation hotline at http://511.alaska.gov . Travelers should always carry emergency supplies and fuel enough for 400 miles when driving this highway.

The Dalton Highway begins 73 miles (118 km) north of Fox at its junction with the Elliott Highway.
