JUNEAU -- A $300 million road proposal connecting Juneau with the continental highway system will now dead-end 18 miles short of Skagway because the original route would have cut through a national historic landmark.
The National Park Service says the state's proposed 68-mile road would have gone through part of the Skagway and White Pass National Historic Landmark before reaching Skagway and linking with the highway into Canada.
