The "little" problem is that the State wants to build the road with FEDERAL funds. It's a million dollar per mile single lane road, 17 miles long.

Project Description:

This project will construct the third and final phase of the road
connecting the City of King Cove with the City of Cold Bay and
its all-weather airport. The project will construct a 17.2 mile
single lane gravel road with turnouts. Funding is dependent on
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service receiving a Record of Decision
on the Izembek Land Exchange EIS that supports road
construction
