From the Map: Palin Admin. Oversaw $26 Million Road to 'Nowhere' (Credit: Dan Nguyen/ProPublica)

As we've reported at ProPublica, the Palin administration is still pursuing a replacement for the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere." Indeed, while Palin has been governor, Alaska has built a $26 million gravel road meant to connect to the "Bridge to Nowhere" (and that currently connects to a dead-end).

Weâve built a map showing you the road, the original plans for the bridge, as well as the proposed replacements. Weâve also included a price tag for each. Enjoy.
