[ I've lived in Ketchikan and the Mat-Su valley, two of the places next to "nowhere." Ketchikan is a thin strip of roadway on a mountain cliff next to the ocean. The bridge would connect Ketchikan to the island next door, which has many square miles of flat land that could be developed for the benefit of the community. The Knik Arm bridge connects Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, with the Mat-Su valley, Alaska's fastest growing community. Calling the Knik Arm bridge a bridge to "nowhere" is either stupidity or willful disregard of the facts. ]

I live in Mat-Su..
True Anchorage is land locked.. the bridge would make Anchorage BOOM.. Its not even that big of a bridge.. Heck the whole area would BOOM not just Anchorage.. Bridge to nowhere is not accurate.. Any that says its NOT NEEDED.. badly.. probably don't want ANWR either.. Alaska needs the bridge, everybody needs ANWR..

If Alaska needs the bridge, Alaska can build it.

Gravina is anything but flat, dude, I know, because I worked on Gravina for 7 years.
