Seward Highway

The byway is a well-surfaced, well-maintained highway with wide shoulders in many locations. Passenger vehicles are easily accommodated. Pedestrians are also accommodated at most of the byway's pullouts and along many of the trails paralleling the route.

Bicyclists can take advantage of existing wide shoulders and 32 miles of separated bike paths, including an abandoned 6-mile segment of the Seward Highway north of Girdwood that was converted for bicycle use. Alaska's TRAAK Program (Trails and Recreational Access for Alaskans) has committed to the development of a bike path from Anchorage to Seward, with a preference for a trail separated from the byway when site conditions permit.
