Russia Plans World's Longest Tunnel, a Link to Alaska

The world as a whole, would greatly greatly benefit from the TransGlobal Highway. For example, Japan, in 2002, shipped 12 million metric tons of finished goods to Europe, primarily by ocean. Some of the goods went through the Suez Canal, while a portion of the goods also went around South Africa. The shipping time from Yokohama to the European port of Antwerp was in the order of 45 days. By rail, via the Trans Global Highway, this time could be reduced to 12 days.
It is proposed that two major tunnels be constructed to link Japan with Asia. These being the Korea-Japan Friendship Tunnel and the Hokkaido to Sakhalin Island-Asia Tunnel. These tunnels would thus quickly connect Japan and the rest of the world to quickly and effectively transport people and goods, at a minimal cost.

I'd like to see it. I think most people couldn't care less about a bridge linking us to Russia. But I think they fail to grasp that you would be able to drive to almost anywhere on the planet.

That would be pretty amazing.

Not to mention if this is able to be pulled off, it could help future tunnels. Maybe one to vist dug and the Aussies in the far future? 😉

dug is from the future? :Q That explains a lot.

Yeah dug is like in the future and all

(LOL I didn't even realize that it sounded like that when I typed it).

:laugh:

The planning for the Chunnel started in 1957 and in 1990, UK & France met at half way point. 33 yrs for a 31 mile tunnel. How long will it take Russia to do it?

If they woke up Stalin it would be done in a year 😛

I don't think the world can afford that kind of mortality rate for any project. Not anymore.
