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)
That would be the Gravina Island Bridge AlexWangombe (talk) 04:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
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)
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)
- There are a lot of American ones missing, too. (I can think of multiple on local freeways, for example.) I think this is just a very common thing and only structures notable enough to have Wikipedia pages will be listed. That inherently biases matters toward English-speaking countries.

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)
Guthrie Theater & Kirk Essary
I can find no record of Guthrie Theater director Kirk Essary or this tunnel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JRioBales (talk • contribs) 17:39, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

A particular user seems very obsessed with undoing my edits. First, I've been told that blogs were not to be used. So I've changed it. Now, he's undid the edits again, with no explanations provided. What is your frigging problem, dude? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.26.123.208 (talk) 06:43, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Itz
I removed the Itztalbrücke because it is not a bridge to nowhere. Construction on the rail line continues apace, and the opening is now expected in a couple of months, December 2017. Listing a bridge built before the end of the construction of the project they are part of is just wrong. They can not possibly be considered bridges to nowhere in the sense of this article, as long as construction is ongoing. There was a 4-5 year pause in construction of this rail line, during which it was not clear if the project would ever be completed, but construction resumed 15 years ago.

Reason for the unused bridge is due to an local ordinance where the affluent residents of the neighborhood petitioned against it [1]
