Out the road is a colloquial term for a region of the City and Borough of Juneau, capital of the U.S. state of Alaska, extending from Auke Bay north to a point roughly 45 miles (72 km) from downtown Juneau to where "The Road" dead ends at Echo Cove, a natural harbor with a boat ramp, parking lot, and several camping areas.
[1] Residents of this region get much less rain than the rest of Juneau, with more sunny days.
For most of its length, there are no city utility services such as water and sewer lines or connections to the Alaska Electric Light & Power grid, requiring generators, septic tanks, and alternative water sources.
The state government then dubbed the section from Auke Bay to Echo Cove the Veterans Memorial Highway.
[3] Plans in the past have called for the Lynn Canal Highway to continue north from the end of the road to Cascade Point.
