anon (12/27/2015) [-]
a tunnel that long would still be a major engineering challenge. You still would have to drill in unknown material. The HVAC system to bring in freash air would be a marvel in its self and powering it would be extremely expensive as you would need to bring in a power plant to that area for the hvac system and flood pumps. Just the cost of drilling could be astronomical.

I'll have you know that the russian buildings built around here are among the sturdiest I could even imagine. Since all russians were drunk while building them, the buildings either collapsed instantly, or became a block of pure tenacity. Once, ground shifted from under an old factory building, the factory rolled downhill like a block of Lego, completely undamaged.

falxcariusbro (12/27/2015) [-] Actually the tides aren't that high because the strait is relatively shallow. The biggest problem is actually that the cold and wind would make it only feasible to have construction 5 months out of the year. Ice floes could also be a problem.
So it is possible, and could even work with the right kinks. It's just that it would be insanely expensive and there isn't enough infrastructure on the Russian side yet.

durkadurka (12/27/2015) [-] A lift bridge would only be feasible if traffic was light enough to allow for its operation (without considerable traffic issues). That and the thing would have to be big enough to accommodate our biggest ships.

Plus, I don't think we could drill that far down because of the heat.

While cheaper at the start, ferries and barges cost way more to maintain, and require personnel. as well as creating a serious delay and bottleneck. If one is going to make a transcontinental superhighway, a bottleneck is simply not an option.

ultimatebuttercup (12/26/2015) [-] Upkeep on it would be a MONSTER. Also there are differences in countries rules of the road. Notably, Great Britain driving on the left of the road, and US driving on the right side of the road. Also (not to cause an arguement) but often times multinational projects and corporations end up not spreading costs evenly, meaning the US will shoulder a large amount of the cost, probably including Russia, and some European countries.
There are three possible different ways this would be funded:
Either A) The cost is split up at a flat cost for each country
B) Cost is divided by the wealthier countries paying more
C) Cost is divided by the countries based on how much of the road runs through their country (unlikely)

ultimatebuttercup (12/26/2015) [-] If NATO proves anything, it is that countries would rather not shoulder the cost of a large project rather than put it on countries with stronger economies. The reason why splitting the cost for countries is probably not going to be super successful is that different countries have different levels of interests in making this happen, and some that are a part of it are probably less enthusiastic about it, so to pay a fair charge for what they should pay is not going to be what they are going to negotiate, then multiply that by each country that decides to be obstinate, and you either kill the project or the cost is driven up for wealthier countries who have to figure out a way to justify the cost. I would agree splitting the cost based on how much road goes through your country is fair and would work in an ideal world, but I dont see it going over easy.
On top of that I didnt think about it but what about immigration laws in countries? You are basically passing through countries, some of which have rules about who can come in and how many. Checking cars on this super highway would be very difficult to do on the fly. You would need a set of procedures and/or framework set up to keep track of the people using the highway.
On top of that, gas stations, towing, law enforcement would have to be set up to manage the highway as well. Some of their locations would be hard to get to for refueling (so stocking gas would cost more, since their locations would be more remote) and remote enough that staff would likely have to have homes set up nearby.
The idea of this being that there could be a lot of secondary charges from a lot of unforeseen costs that are necessary for such a plan to work, and that it could be much more expensive than just building a highway. But it could be less expensive than I am portraying as well. This would require in depth planning to get an exact estimate of building costs with upkeep costs and if the benefits outweigh the negatives.
Just saying, driving cars is less efficient than taking a plane in terms of gas, or a train in terms of coal or power, and multiply that by a monster road and more people looking to travel, or companies transporting goods. Pollution wise, it would be worse than using planes or trains. Not saying that it still isnt a good idea though.

ShadeElement ONLINE (12/26/2015) [-] Here's the problem-
From Fairbanks to ( **** I dunno somewhere half way through Russia) there are NO ROADS.
I mean NONE.
This isn't by coincidence. The terrain and weather make the region undrivable. Hell, half the Al-Can highway is impassable for 4-6 months out of the year.
So even IF you managed to bridge the Bering strait with something that could withstand some of the roughest seas on the planet, deep freeze, mountain size ice bergs, and continental drift...even if you could somehow build a TUNNEL, the expense wouldn't be worth it. You would be able to drive on it maybe 4 months out of the year. Tops. If mother nature is in a good mood.
Lets not forget the nature preserves you would be cutting a path through. OMG the Environmentalists would be lighting themselves on fire in the streets.

bagofshenanigans (12/26/2015) [-] No. Ignoring all initial building costs, the US (maybe Germany as well) will probably be the only country that puts any real effort into maintaining their portion to any decent standard. Russia would never keep up with snow plowing, patching, filling potholes, or redoing sections of their highway. And Eastern Europe can barely afford to exist, let alone provide adequate care for a massive superhighway.
And none of you ******* (especially the Russians) deserve unlimited, immediate access to the US Interstate system. You ******* don't pay taxes here, you constantly berate the US for using highways as opposed to train based systems, and you don't have US driver licenses. No one should have to die because some ******* left Britain and doesn't know how to drive on the correct side of the road. Stay on your rainy, little, socialist island where you belong.
And despite my earlier, more xenophobic statements, the most important reason is the complete lack of any benefit. Plane tickets are cheaper, use less fuel, and don't require maintenance on heavily traveled superhighways located near the north ******* pole. Whoever proposed this needs to be sent to a Gulag. I don't care if they're no longer in use. Open one back up and make this maniac its lone occupant.

**anonymousmkiii used "*roll picture*"**
**anonymousmkiii rolled image** "Yeah guys, hey, lets make a ******* superhighway. It'll be 20,000 miles long, and go quickly from New York to London"
They of course said "quickly" as they drew the line riiiight past CHICAGO.
I mean, this all seems like a good idea on the surface, you look at this as a massive facilitation of international travel and trade between America, Russia, Canada, and Europe. What once required planes, trains and trucks can now in the course of a week be economically driven around the world essentially.
Then you look at the logistics. No, not the short term stuff, like the bridge Sarah Palin will be able to see from her backyard jutting out to russia at a minimum of 60 feet above the miles and 50 miles across, not the initial paving the tundra hmm, this turned out well before in Alaska, didn't it? , not building the infrastructure, thousands of gas stations, service stations, hotels, etc, but the long term.
Sure, there's a massive advantage creating a highway this far north. going "around the world" is drastically shorter in distance. But you deal with temperatures that vary from 70-80f down into the negative degrees, depending on where you measure. All of these areas are temperate and vary massively in temperature, so you're going to be replacing the pavement. a lot. Now imagine doing this on a superhighway, there would essentially always be maintenance being done on some point of the road, there would have to be.
And this is just temperature. You still have to contend with nature. Like, for example, the logistics of removing and maintaining the carworthiness of hundreds of square miles of asphault after a snowstorm hits. Oh, and tsunamis, which have hit alaska and coastal russia before. Oh, don't forget wildlife, like bears and elk.
So finally we get to security. And how the **** do you secure a road like that well? With airports and ships, you can at least guarantee some level of security in the fact that the TSA security specialist is going to do a full cavity search and confiscate the water bottle that model was stupid enough to purchase at the shop outside of the checkpoint and try to bring through, only to have it called a bomb and have it thrown in the trash can next to the line of other people waiting. You don't get that in a highway. Yeah, you can setup a checkpoint at every state border, place border patrol to guard the thing, and watch as *insert ******* unpronounceable Iraqi name here* and his compatriots drive a pair of matching white Nissan trucks loaded up with plastic explosives a good 20 or 30 minutes apart from each other up the super highway, right through the checkpoint at the Russia-US border on the russian side, right onto the superbridge, and blow a hole in both sides of the superbridge, stranding thousands between the craters.
So is this gonna happen? Are tens of thousands of people going to displace themselves to work on or as a part of the superhighway? are the governments of essentially 3 superpowers that have shown signs of working so well together in the past going to do so now, and contribute billions to the effort of creating and maintaining a road that would be a security and maintenance nightmare in some of the toughest places in the world to live, Siberia, Alaska, and northern Canada?
Yeah, i'm gonna go with no
TL;DR: This will happen on a cold day in hell.

Are tens of thousands of people going to displace themselves to work on or as a part of the superhighway? are the governments of essentially 3 superpowers that have shown signs of working so well together in the past going to do so now, and contribute billions to the effort of creating and maintaining a road that would be a security and maintenance nightmare in some of the toughest places in the world to live, Siberia, Alaska, and northern Canada?
Yeah, i'm gonna go with no
TL;DR: This will happen on a cold day in hell.
