Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski is proposing to build a $285 million road that would connect several rural Native villages around Bristol Bay.

Murkowski plans to pay for the road using revenues generated from oil development in the area. State and Native-owned lands would be open to leasing.

The Bristol Bay Native Corporation, which owns the lands, asked Murkowski to allow development.
