Description: Delta Junction is located at the convergence of the Richardson and Alaska Highways, approximately 95 miles southeast of Fairbanks and 236 miles northeast of Anchorage. The city developed along the east bank of the Delta River, south of its junction with the Tanana River. Buses provide transportation to Fairbanks and Whitehorse. The state-maintained Delta Junction airport has a gravel runway in good condition. The U.S. Army maintains the Allen AAF airport, which has a asphalt runway. Plans are underway for joint use of the Allen Airfield on Fort Greely. Snowmobiles are used for recreation. Freight and mail are shipped by truck from Fairbanks.
