Pan American Highway

The Pan-American Highway is a system of roads connecting North and South America. It was originally built in 1923 as a singular road and then quickly grew into other participating countries. It extends from Alaska and Canada to Chile, Brazil, and the southern tip of Argentina, totaling 19,000 miles. Except for the Darien Gap, a break between the border of Colombia and Panama, the highway is continuous along the coast of both American continents.
