The Million Dollar Bridge, which had carried trains until the CR&NW shut down, was converted for highway use.

The highway past mile 36 has been de facto abandoned since 2011 due to erosion of the approach to Bridge 339.

From there, the highway proceeds through central Cordova, intersecting several small roads and passing residential and commercial buildings.

[3] The road exits Cordova, and passes the large Eyak Lake, proceeding to the Merle K. (Mudhole) Smith Airport.

[3] The highway then turns to a gravel road and proceeds east and then northeast through both Eyak Corporation land and the Chugach National Forest; however, after passing over several sloughs, the highway now stops after approximately 35 miles due to Bridge 339 having been washed out in 2011 [3] The entire route is in Valdez-Cordova Borough.
