[Morgan in Denver]

I'm not implying I support a bridge to nowhere, but have you been to Katchikan? I have, and if they ever want to grow as a community they have to be accessible. They aren't now and the only way in is by boat or plane. I'm not privy to Alaska's planning but it would not surprise me if they are considering a road there in the future.

I have been to Ketchikan, and this proposed bridge is from the town to a MORE REMOTE island that the airport is on (per above graphic). In other words, the bridge goes AWAY from the mainland, and would never be part of a road connection with the rest of the world.

The airport, BTW is served by a car and passenger ferry every 30 minutes or less.
