This is one of those things that I hope I can live long enough to see happen.
It's just a really damned-nifty engineering thing to do, and, it's really useful too!
It'll be accomplished around 2030 or so, and I might still be around if I can shake that ole song: "Ain't Livin' Long Like This" ............... FRegards
I was surprised to learn that the bridge from Alaska to Siberia was considered shortly after the Alaska purchase from Russia at the end of the Civil War. But then, it was equally surprising to learn that the canal connecting the Danube to the Rhine was considered by Charlemagne. Anyway, the former Governor is in Moscow to see about getting this $65 billion project underway. There is still some laughter about the Hickel Highway, but the Alaska Railroad was originally planned to go to the North Slope rather than stop in Fairbanks in the middle of nowhere.
