Editing Soldotna, Alaska (section)

===Road===
The [[Sterling Highway]] runs through and connects the eastern and central portions of the city. Its intersection with the start of the [[Kenai Spur Highway]], widely known as the "Soldotna Y" due to its previous Y-shaped configuration, is a local landmark. The Kenai Spur Highway connects neighborhoods in the north-central portion of the city to other parts of Soldotna, adjoining [[Ridgeway, Alaska|Ridgeway]] and beyond to [[Kenai, Alaska|Kenai]], [[Salamatof, Alaska|Salamatof]] and [[Nikiski, Alaska|Nikiski]], ending along [[Cook Inlet]] at the Captain Cook State Recreation Area.

The western portions of Soldotna are connected by local roads (east of the [[Kenai River]]) and Kalifornsky Beach Road (west of the river).  "K-Beach" Road, as it is often known, is a loop to the west of the Sterling Highway. At its northern end, it straddles the southernmost portions of city limits (including Kenai Peninsula College and the [[Soldotna Sports Center]]) and adjoining [[Kalifornsky, Alaska|Kalifornsky]]. Continuing past city limits, K-Beach provides an alternate access to Kenai along the south side of the Kenai River via the Warren Ames Memorial Bridge, the last road crossing downriver, then continues west and south, returning to the Sterling Highway at [[Kasilof, Alaska|Kasilof]]. Funny River Road continues eastbound from the northern terminus of K-Beach Road, connecting the Sterling Highway with Soldotna Airport (see below), [[Kenai National Wildlife Refuge]] headquarters and [[Funny River, Alaska|Funny River]].

Almost all of the city's commercial districts are arrayed along these roads. Interior arterial and collector streets, such as Binkley and Kobuk streets and Marydale and Redoubt avenues, primarily provide access either to residential areas or to community facilities such as the borough building, the post office, Central Peninsula Hospital and [[Soldotna High School]]
