AK-6 AK-8

Alaska Route 7 (AK-7) is a state highway in the Alaska Panhandle of the U.S. state of Alaska. It consists of four unconnected pieces, serving some of the Panhandle communities that the Alaska Marine Highway ferries stop at, and connecting to the Alaska Highway in Yukon via the Haines Highway.

Route description

According to Alaska's supplement to the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, AK-7 follows[2]

Major highways in Southeast, including:

  • South Tongass Hwy, North Tongass Hwy (Ketchikan)
  • Nordic Drive, Mitkoff Hwy (Petersburg)
  • Glacier Hwy, Egan Drive (Juneau)
  • Haines Hwy, Haines to Border

No other segments are shown on maps.[3][4][5][6][7]

The southernmost piece of AK-7 is known as the Tongass Highway, and heads both ways from Ketchikan on Revillagigedo Island.

Next is the Mitkoff Highway, south from Petersburg to the southeast point of Mitkof Island. AK-7 also includes the short Nordic Drive, connecting the Mitkoff Highway to the north point of the island.

Egan Drive, part of AK-7, is the main road through Juneau, replacing the Glacier Highway from downtown Juneau to near the Juneau International Airport. Beyond the airport, AK-7 continues along the Glacier Highway past Auke Bay to near Berner's Bay.

The final piece of AK-7 begins in downtown Haines, and follows the Haines Highway northwest to the border with British Columbia. There it connects with Yukon Highway 3, which passes through British Columbia and ends at the Alaska Highway at Haines Junction.
