Anchorage: Knik Arm bridge route approved

(1/4) > >>

Kniwt:
The Anchorage Daily News reports that the Federal Highway Administration has signed a record of decision for construction of the 8,200-foot, $700 million, two-lane Knik Arm bridge. Construction could begin in 2012.


--- Quote ---The state agency that's trying to build the Knik Arm crossing, a mega-project dreamed and debated for decades in Southcentral, still has much more work to do. More lobbying, more permitting and, maybe most importantly, finding a way to pay the more than $700 million price tag.

Another "bridge to nowhere"!

Landshark:
It's sad that people are lazy to the point where rhetoric like the "bridge to nowhere," which would link a city with its Intl. airport., is acceptable political rhetoric.   

NE2:
This the one will shorten the commute from a suburb. The other "bridge to nowhere" would have connected a small town to its airport, replacing a not-bad ferry.

Both would open up much needed land.  Both Anchorage and Ketchikan are pretty much built out.
