Roads and Bridges to SOMEWHERE

While I may agree that Nome needs road communication with the
rest of the state, I say that a road to Hyder, AK and Stuart
B.C., with its attendant bridge from Revilla Island to the Mainland
would probably better serve the State of Alaska.
The main reason being, more competition on freight rates, hard
communication with the lower 48, and would turn Ketchikan into
the main shipping point for the rest of Southeast.
Yours in being able to drive ANYWHERE we want,
