The Seward Highway is a highway in the U.S. state of Alaska that extends 127 miles (204 km) from Seward to Anchorage. It was completed in 1951 and runs through the scenic Kenai Peninsula and Turnagain Arm, for which it was designated an All-American Road by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The Seward Highway is numbered Alaska Route 9 for the first 37 miles (58 km) from Seward to the Sterling Highway, and Alaska Route 1 for the remaining distance to Anchorage. At the junction with the Sterling Highway, Alaska Route 1 turns west towards Sterling.

In Anchorage, the Seward Highway terminates at the green belt, where Alaska 1 is routed southbound on Gambell Street, and northbound on Ingra Street. At 6th Avenue, Alaska 1 turns east and becomes the Glenn Highway. Alaska 1 runs westbound on 5th Avenue. Signs point towards the Seward and Glenn Highways at this location.
