Russia Proposes Superhighway Linking New York And London

What if U.S. citizens could drive...to Asia? A new proposal from Russia would see the country connected to the U.S. by highway bridge as part of a massive superhighway crossing the length of Russia, ultimately linking New York and London.

Called the Trans-Eurasian Belt Development (TEPR). the ambitious project was proposed by Russian Railways head Vladimir Yakunin earlier this month, according to CNN.

The route would include some pre-existing roads to reach London and New York, but would still require thousands of miles of tarmac across the width of Russia. This would be laid alongside the existing Trans-Siberian Railway—the longest railway in the world.

Would be easier to just build a matter transporter.

Or a tunnel.

“Interesting idea. Does Russia have some truly worthwhile tourist attractions and sites, out across that vast distance?”

Well there is the “eat a frozen 72 oz. wooly mammoth steak in under an hour and get it free” special...

Guy walks along a beach, finds a lamp, what the hell, rubs it.

Genie.

“So, I get three wishes?”

“Whatever, you’ll be lucky if I give you one.”

“Well then, I’ve always wanted to see Europe but am afraid of flying and boat travel makes me sick. Can you build me a highway from New York to London?”

“Are you out of your mind?! Do you know the labor costs involved with that, not to mention having to deal with unions!? Not a chance, pick something else.”

“OK then, I’ve always wanted to figure out women. How they think and why. If I could understand women, I’d be better at interacting with them more successfully. I wish to understand how women think.”

“Fine. Two lanes, or four?”

In the 19709s, the USSR built a huge superhighway into Afghanistan.

Then they used it for an invasion route.

I trust the Russians ... to be Soviets at heart.

We can't trust *our* leader, except to lead us down a road to destruction and embarrassment on the world stage:

“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama implored. “We should continue to be working on this issue at the technical level; that there are steps that can be taken on both sides to gain better understanding of the US and Russian,” he added.

“I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” Medvedev responded,referring to the soon to be Russian President Vladimir Putin.

How much does it cost to build a road in Russia? Six times as much as it does in the United States, according to a recent study by Russian news agency Ria Novosti on comparitive rates in Moscow, the EU, the US and China.

The report noted that China has the cheapest cost, at about $1.3m per mile, with the US and the EU coming in at between $3.6m and $4.2m. In Russia it costs around $10.5m a mile. And in Moscow it can cost a massive $31m, according to an official at the Russian Transport Ministry.
