Many of the roads across the interior are probably gravel. At least they were when I last journeyed there. The ones along the West Australian coast are paved though. They form what’s called Highway 1 (or at least it used to be).
It’s a really long drive from Utqiagvik to Ketchikan or even Proudhoe Bay to Juneau because you have to wait for climate change to make building the roads feasible
Alaska w/ an area of 1.7m sq/km or 663k sq/Freedom Units compared to Western Australia 2.5m sq/km or 975k sq/Freedom Units I’m not sure about that… But I suppose it’s possible.
At least you have a road that reaches diagonally across WA. If Alaska did it would take a lot longer than that

It’s not about the overall area, it’s about the shape. Alaska has long legs. WA is very compact for its size.
