Well if you count dirt roads and back trails you would be able to drive from South Africa (Johannesburg) to South America (South Argentina)

They should take care of the dirt roads they have first. Many between town roads that are heavily traveled are dirt in summer and a quagmire in the rainy season.

I have visions replaying in my head, of the movie

"The Great Race: Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Peter Falk, Keenan Wynn"

[exPBRrat]

Sounds like an awesome engineering project.

“Are we there yet, Daddy, are we there yet?”
“I have to go to the bathroom!”
“Mommy, Billy won’t stop tickling me!”
“Are we there yet, Daddy, are we there yet?”
“I’m not kicking your seat, Billy’s kicking your seat!”
“Am not!”
“Am too!”
“Am not!”
“Am too!”
“Am not!”
“Am too!”
“My stomach doesn’t feel so good. I think I’m going to...”
“I have to go to the bathroom, again—REALLY BAD!!”
“Are we there yet, Daddy, are we there yet?”...

So Africans and Arabs could drive here...?

What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Behold the power of vodka.

Get a job plowing/salting that highway. Guaranteed steady work with great benefits, especially when they start putting up toll booths (you know they will).

Tanks, but no tanks!

I watched a show where they drove across Siberia (and Mongolia, and some of the ‘stans), and some of the highways are truly nightmarish. It was a real adventure.

A modern highway Moscow to Anchorage would be a game changer.

Will they get permission first?

Imagine the pot holes. They won’t be needing any more meteorites out there.

I'm confident Putin's buddy sees a way to make yet another fortune from this.

Will it ever get built? More importantly, why would it ever get built? @ 65 MPH that's 200 hours. Each way.

Yes, you could drive from New York to London. Alternatively, you could fly from New York to London, take a month vacation, and fly back. Even flying first class, flying would probably be cheaper.

Someone wants to prop up the Russian economy by building a couple thousand miles of infrastructure.

[Don Corleone]

Follow the money. Who will get the gas station, restaurant and hooker concessions?

[FreeInWV]

A highway and new high speed rail line outside of our control? 0 and his buddies are not gonna like that!

I wonder if they will call it the Taggart Line?

[American in Israel]

I imagine the are planning to make it about 4 tanks wide.

[Eddie01]

A bridge to America from Russia?

Hell no.

[frithguild]

The roads will build themselves if the tunnel is built. I for one would drive accross it and spend a little money on the other side.
