Talk:Kenai Spur Highway

ends at "Bay Beach Road"?/major intersections
I can't find this road on Google maps. What is the source for that? The end is most certainly at ... whatever the name is of the campground loop road at the state rec area, some 10 miles from Nikiski. One is driving through state lands for several minutes before reaching that road, so it seems unlikely to be "in"Nikiski by any reasonable definition. However, from there you can access the "road" that is the incredibly rough (for driving) trail on the upper part of the beach, maybe that is what is referred to?

I also think the list of "major" intersections in Kenai might be a bit overboard. Oddly, the only one I would consider major has the least information. Bridge Access Road provides access to the tidal flats, the Kenai River boat launch, and Kalifornsky Beach Road, which provides both alternate access to Soldotna and a way to bypass Soldotna entirely if traveling between Kenai and anywhere between Kasilof and or Homer.

So, I was just there again yesterday. The road ends at a parking area whose purpose was not clear to me. (EDIT:Just looked it up, it’s clearly the access point for an off-road 4WD trail) The only outgoing road from that point is the access road for the beach and the picnic and camping areas. None of them are marked with road names so I’m still not sure wher this “bay beach road” would be. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:56, 14 June 2018 (UTC)


 * According to the ArcGIS map located http://www.dot.alaska.gov/stwdplng/mapping/index.shtml (you have to zoom way in) Bay Beach Road is that otherwise unmarked beach access road. The other information in the junction list seems to be accurate, though I can't really vouch for the notability of each junction listed. –Fredddie™ 23:20, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I guess that must be it. Looking closer, it also doens’t really make sense to characterize Bridge Access road and Beaver Loop as bypasses “around” Kenai. If you were coming from Soldotna, using Beaver Loop would get you to Bridge Access road, from which you can either go straight on into the middle of Kenai, or go to Kalifornsky Beach Road, which runs between Soldotna and Kasilof. Neither route gets you from one side of Kenai to the other. In point of fact I’m pretty darn sure that there is no way to completely bypass central Kenai when heading towards Nikiski.
