The Gravina Island Bridge , commonly referred to as a " Bridge to Nowhere ", was a proposed bridge to replace the ferry that currently connects Ketchikan, Alaska to the Gravina Island's 50 residents and the Ketchikan International Airport. The bridge was projected to cost $398 million. Members of the Alaskan congressional delegation, particularly Rep. Don Young and Sen. Ted Stevens, were the bridge's biggest advocates in Congress, and helped push for federal funding. The project encountered fierce opposition outside of Alaska as a symbol of pork barrel spending and is labeled as one of the more prominent "bridges to nowhere". As a result, Congress removed the federal earmark for the bridge in 2005.
