Route Description
Alaska Highway 9 is 127 miles (204 km) long and runs from Seward to Anchorage.

Opened in 1957, it was the first road access to Denali National Park (then known as Mount McKinley National Park). Since 1971, primary park access has been via the Parks Highway, which incorporated a section of the Denali Highway from Cantwell to the present-day park entrance.

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.
