The Edgerton Highway is a minor highway in the U.S. state of Alaska that extends 33 miles (55 km) from the Richardson Highway near Copper Center to the town of Chitina. The McCarthy Road is a 58-mile (94-km) extension from Chitina to McCarthy.
The Edgerton Highway, named for U.S. Army Major Glenn Edgerton, a member of the Alaska Territorial Road Commission, follows an old pack trail along the Copper River, and is paved. The popular dip-net salmon fishery in Chitina causes the highway to be fairly heavily used in summer. It is part of Alaska Route 10.
