There were a few different options created for the bridge and I'm not sure what the final decision was as I moved from the area a few years ago, but I know several of the plans had the bridge quite a ways south of town, which would mean having to build a new road over on Gravina through an area that is not currently developed. And yes, the cruise ship issue is a huge money costing factor as well as far as how big the bridge would have to be. Good luck getting some of your photos licensed/sold during the next few months! I've really enjoyed your photos. Ah, Ketchikan is my hometown :)

Nice to actually see where my tax dollars were supposed to be spent (hope you enjoyed them even if you didn't get the bridge... :-) ). Based upon your other photos from Ketchikan, it looks like all the money was needed because it was to be a tall bridge so the cruise ships could get underneath it! Milk the next few months for all you can license wise, nothing like a local celebrity to drive your image sales. Thanks for sharing!

I might be missing out on some business opportunities. Sarah is speaking in Anchorage on Saturday, but I would rather be in Denali - that's where I'm heading! Thanks, Ron Hey Jim,

I have a feeling this might have some legs in it still. Have any photos of the people Palin fired? :) Crazy times... Well this helps put a “face” to the name.

Hopefully it works out for you Ron. Ketchikan looks like a densely populated little strip. Hopefully it works out for you Ron.
