World's Longest Tunnel Planned By Russia
They say that the first people who migrated to North America did so via a land bridge between present day Russia and Alaska, and if Russia has its way we will again be able to cross the Bering Strait without a boat.
Russia unveiled a project, called TKM-World Link, to connect the Siberian peninsula with Alaska via the worlds longest tunnel. The $12 Billion, 64 mile tunnel would include a highway, a rail link, oil and gas pipelines, and power cables. The tunnel will also require the building of 3,700 miles of transportation infrastructure to feed the tunnel at an estimated cost of $52 Billion.
Don't get too excited, though -- the project will take at least 10 to 15 years to complete.

Geeze . . . . . that's only $4 billion less than the BIG DIG in Boston. . . . and about the same amount of time to finish it. GOOD LUCK!!!!!! I hope they don't have the crooks (pols) to skim the $$$$$ they did iin Boston.

Having worked in both Boston and Moscow I can assure you that the Boston Pols (while in the top ten in the US) are bush league compared to Moscow and Russian Pols in corruption.
I can also assure you that when the dust settles the final cost of Boston's Big Dig will be closer to 20bil then 16bil.
To comment on the Bering Tunnel itself. Hmm, a tunnel leading from no where to no where - sounds like a great idea - I'll take two.
