According to Alaska's supplement to the Federal
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, AK-7 follows (from south to north): • South Tongass Highway, North Tongass Highway (
Ketchikan) • Nordic Drive, Mitkoff Highway (
Petersburg) • Glacier Highway, Egan Drive (
Juneau) • Haines Highway,
Haines to Border No other segments are shown on maps. The
Alaska Marine Highway ferry service connect the sections, but for the most parts the ports are not located at the endpoint of each segment; thus many of the endpoints are dead ends.
Tongass Highway The southernmost piece of AK-7 is known as the
Tongass Highway and heads both ways from
Ketchikan on
Revillagigedo Island. The ferry calls at Ketchikan. Within the city of Ketchikan, it is named
Tongass Avenue from the northern city limits at the airport ferry terminal to the Newtown neighborhood. Continuing downtown it is successively
Water,
Front,
Mill and
Stedman streets, becoming the Tongass Highway again after passing
Coast Guard Base Ketchikan.
Mitkoff Highway / Nordic Drive Another section of AK-7 is the
Mitkoff Highway. Traveling 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. Petersburg has a ferry terminal.
Egan Drive / Glacier Highway Egan Drive which is part of AK-7, is the main road in
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 its northernmost point near
Berners Bay. The extreme southern end of Egan Drive is known as
Marine Way. The ferry calls at Auke Bay. There were plans to extend the road north of Berners Bay as the
Lynn Canal Highway; however, the project has been indefinitely shelved due to the state's budget crisis.
Haines Highway The final piece of AK-7 begins in downtown
Haines, another ferry stop; it follows the
Haines Highway northwest to the border with
British Columbia, Canada. In BC, it continues north as the Haines Highway with no designation, eventually connecting with
Yukon Highway 3 (which ends at the
Alaska Highway at
Haines Junction in the
Yukon Territory). ==Major intersections==
