NOME, Alaska (AP) — Critics of plans to build a 220-mile road from the Dalton Highway are questioning whether the state's price tag for the project is realistic. State officials and the company hired to oversee a road to a copper deposit in the Northwest Arctic Borough discussed likely costs last week at a meeting of the Citizens Advisory Commission on Federal Areas, KNOM-radio (http://bit.ly/1oO1biS) reported. Mark Davis, deputy director of the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, gave an overall cost prediction for the project at $190 million to $300 million.
