Alaska Marine Highway

Posted by Glassman on 29 April 2018 in English.

I’ve updated the Alaska Marine Highway. The southern most end is in Bellingham, Washingtonm just up the road from me. It didn’t appear to connect to either Valdez and Seward that the US Bike Routes indicated that it should. A number of ferry routes were missing or incomplete which was started me on the quest to fix the problem. It still doesn’t connect to Seward, the jumping off point for USBR 97 to Bellingham. As far as I can tell, Seward doesn’t have a ferry terminal. It does connect to USBR 95 in Valdez.

Work still needs to be done. If anyone wants to help, here is a list of items that need help with:

  1. add or update the cargo= tag to indicated what the ferry carries, such as cars, pedestrians, etc.
  2. Check each ferry terminal to see if they have routes that are missing
  3. Verify that the route is actually routable.

We are waiting on AASHTO to finalize the ferry route from Bellingham to Alaska. Once we have the approval the ferry route will be added completing the bike routes from Alaska to the northern half of Washington State.
