Actually it's a good question.

The highway was built by the U.S. army during the Second World War, and after the war it was transferred to DND. In 1964 the British Columbia portion of the highway was transferred to PWGSC from the Department of National Defence through an order in council.

We maintain approximately 800 kilometres of the highway from Fort St. John to the Yukon border.
