Knik Arm Bridge

What if you had no bridge and didn’t need a bridge? What if you didn’t have any road to connect to a bridge which you didn’t have and don’t have a need for? What would you do? Exactly! You would build a bridge and roads.

The Knik Arm Crossing project in Alaska is being developed to meet the current and future needs of the municipality of Anchorage and the Mat-Su Borough. Construction cost is expected to be $650 - 700 million for the vehicular 2.7 mile bridge and 19 miles of connecting roads. These will be toll roads. One of the reasons given for construction is a north-south emergency response and evacuation route.

I wonder what happens if you have to evacuate and don’t have the toll fee.

Maybe you just take the route you took before you got the bridge and roads that you didn't need before.
