Atlin Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Yukon Highway 7
- British Columbia ... no official highway number
The Atlin Road was built by the Canadian Army from 1950 to 1951, connecting the village of Atlin, British Columbia, with the Tagish Road just one mile west of the Alaska Highway at historic mile 866 (Jake's Corner).
By the mid 1980s, the Yukon section had been improved, being wide and straight, while the B.C. section (which has no official highway number) was narrow, winding, with some less than optimum grades.
By 2000, the B.C. section had been improved and partially paved, while there have been complaints about the Yukon section.
From Atlin, there are area roads both to the east and the south.
