Route Description
Alaska Highway 7 consists of four unconnected pieces in Southeast Alaska. The
longest portion is 40 miles (64 km) long and runs from Haines to the British
Columbia border.
The southernmost piece of Alaska Highway 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. Alaska Highway 7 also includes the short Nordic Drive, connecting
the Mitkoff Highway to the north point of the island.
Egan Drive, part of Alaska Highway 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 Alaska Highway 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.
