California State Route 7

State Route 7 (SR 7) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California, running from the Calexico East Port of Entry on the U.S.-Mexico border east of Calexico north to its terminus at Interstate 8 (I-8), where Orchard Road continues the route north towards Holtville. The route provides convenient access to the country of Mexico from I-8. The southern portion of the route opened in 1996, and the rest of the route connecting to I-8 opened in 2005.

Route description

The highway begins at the Calexico East Border Station, which is open from 6 am to 10 pm, seven days a week. Just north of the border, the highway splits into two roads to pass through the customs checkpoints before the two roads merge back together; the fork to the west is for cars, and the fork to the east is for commercial vehicles. SR 7 takes the western fork, which passes over the other fork at the northern end and merges into that highway. From here to I-8, SR 7 is an expressway known as Orchard Road. Before reaching I-8, SR 7 travels north and has an at-grade intersection with SR 98 and a few other roads. At its northern end, SR 7 turns into County Route S32 (still Orchard Road) as it intersects with I-8. The entire route runs through the Sonoran Desert and is built to expressway standards.

Utah State Route 7

State Route 7 (SR-7), also known as Southern Parkway, is a state highway in the extreme southwestern portion of the U.S. state of Utah, currently linking the southern periphery of St George to southeastern St George. The first portion of the freeway opened 7 July 2009, a link between exit 2 at I-15 south of Bloomington (a suburb within the city of St. George) to River Road in south east St. George spanning 4 miles (6.4 km). It is the southern portion of a two-phase beltway around the St. George metro area. The second portion was completed in November 2010, extending further east to the new St. George Regional Airport. The highway is eventually planned to extend 26 miles (41.8 km) northeast—as a four-lane freeway—to Hurricane, although initially there will be some at-grade intersections. These will be converted to interchanges as traffic volumes warrant.

Route description

State Route 7 starts at its intersection with I-15 in southwest St. George. From here it travels southeast for about 3 miles (4.8 km) to immediately north of the Utah-Arizona border, then turning east and paralleling the border. Past interchanges at Astragalus Drive and River Road, the road turns east-northeast and continues for 7 miles (11 km) until reaching its temporary terminus at Warner Valley Road, passing Airport Parkway, which accesses St. George Municipal Airport. A short eastern segment connects Washington Dam Road to 4300 West near Sand Hollow State Park.
