The greatest distortion that proponents of the road use is that it will connect Juneau to Skagway.  It won't.  To make matters worse they will use the existence of the road to support moving the ferry terminal 50 miles north, which will be bad for both Alaskans and ferrying tourists.

The only ones getting any benefit from the road are the Mackinnon mine and loggers.  This road is paved with pork and should go the way of the TajMahawker.
