Russia proposed new superhighway

[Freebooter]

Russia is proposing a new Super Highway from Europe through Russia an through Alaska through the US. I hope this happens before I am too old to ride it from one end to the other!]

Who's going to pay for it? With oil prices crashing, Russia is broke as a joke. I don't see any reason the US would want to build a big bridge to Siberia.

Most of Europe have toll road highways connecting throughout, so that is a non-runner, as for Russia to Alaska, that is something different, we'll see.

THIS is an old story, March 2015, AND it is never ever ever going to happen.....

Let's hope it doesn't happen, remember why Autobahns were built...

Across Europe the pay for it. Across Russs they pay for it. Across US we do. The bridge? A joint effort. Perhaps across Russia an Europe a joint effort tween them. Everyone could work something out.

That dead straight bit across Russia will be so boring with no twisty bits! My tyres will get a flat spot but then I suppose the cruise control will come into its own. ::015::

There might be some long straight stretches in Russia but can u imagine the biews, the scenery?

When I lived in Fairbanks this sort of story popped up every now and then. Building bridge across the Bering Sea is an engineering and monetary challenge up there with colonizing Saturn. A tunnel may be more practical.... not particularly practical, but more son than a bridge. People already ski, use dog sleds or SnoGo across on the ice. Alaska is also in a financial crisis because of the plunge in oil revenue. The people would love another federally funded boondoggle.

This has been discussed since the 1800s and seriously discussed since 1904. Someday it'll probably happen but I doubt in our life times.

I personally wouldn't go anywhere near a Russian road, especially on a bike period. Seems like most of the drivers there are drunk or trying to set you up for an accident. Good luck though, if they ever build it...
