JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska might not have a Bridge to Nowhere, but it now has a Road to Nowhere.
The state last week completed a $25 million gravel road that was intended to lead up to the bridge linking the city of Ketchikan to its airport on a neighboring island.
The bridge project became the symbol of federal largess, and Congress eventually dropped the $200 million earmark for the bridge.
The state still received, and spent, the federal money, but Gov. Sarah Palin — who once supported the bridge — killed the project.
Ketchikan Mayor Bob Weinstein says the road is ideal for road races and hunting. But with no bridge to serve it, that’s probably about it. The Associated Press
