'''Gravina Island Bridge''', the so-called "Bridge to Nowhere", was a proposed 2007 project in [[Alaska]] meant to link the city of Ketchikan with inaccessible Gravina Island. The proposed project was used to criticize a since-failed Congressional [[earmark]] sponsored by Alaska Senator [[Ted Stevens]] during a [[partisan]] [[witch hunt]] to unseat the senior [[Republican]] senator, who was ultimately found not guilty because of prosecutor misconduct, falsification of evidence, albeit not until after his losing a reelection bid.
