You may not be aware, but Alaska is not part of the blob of 48 contiguous states. If you want to get from the main body of the US to Alaska over land, you'll have to cross Canadian territory.
HN title says "... road access from USA to Alaska".
"Contiguous USA to Alaska" would be fine, but ~"USA to USA" is poorly-worded.
Not confusing, mind you. Just poorly-worded!
If you spend any time living in Hawaii or Alaska, and then move to the mainland, you will receive a shockingly high frequency of questions about what it's like to move to the US.
GP might have similar experiences.
For non-US readers, or for the geopolitically-unaware, Hawaii and Alaska became US territories in the late 1800s, but didn't become states until 1959.
