2003 comment

Spelling on this page is accurate, even tho there are variations such as Whanganui and Wanganui, and Maungapurua (official name today) and Mangapurua (in quoted text, name from old maps). Moriori 20:33, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Knik Arm Bridge

I don't see how the Knik Arm Bridge falls under the defition of "Bridge to Nowhere." Seeing as it would connect Alaska's two most densely populated areas together. And according to their website they have roads already built at either end of the proposed site. "Bridge to nowhere" is a label used to attack the credibility of the bridge.

No Mention of THE Bridge?

No mention of Palin's bridge to nowhere? This page is probably getting thousands of hits a day, like mine just now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.135.238.225 (talk) 15:07, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That would be the Gravina Island Bridge AlexWangombe (talk) 04:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Primary topic is Gravina Island Bridge?

It seems like the primary topic here is Gravina Island Bridge. I think this page should be moved to Bridge to Nowhere (disambiguation) and this should be turned into a redirect for Gravina Island Bridge. What does everyone else think? Is there another article that would make this not the clear primary topic? Thanks, — sligocki (talk) 07:00, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are more bridges leading to Nowhere

I think the content is too much of the English speaking countries. In the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and many other countries are many other bridges leading (from nowhere) to nowhere. By having a look at the Grote nutteloze werken you'll find some photos and discriptions. Given countries are just examples. Dqfn13 (talk) 12:06, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Split Articles

To me, it seems that this article is a combination of two topics that are almost completely unrelated:

Literal bridges to nowhere,
Pork barrel spending in the form of bridges and similar projects that only benefit a small number of people.

I suggest that we split this into two separate articles. henry42 (talk) 02:20, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Guthrie Theater & Kirk Essary

I can find no record of Guthrie Theater director Kirk Essary or this tunnel.
