Russia shared another bad idea (20,000km HIGHWAY London to New York)

[HellHound]

Plus, the bridge across the bering straight is something like the florida keys but I believe longer.

[General]

a plane travels at ~800km/h while cruising

a car will travel at approximately ~120km/h on a motorway.

assuming Kishgal's image is an accurate representation of the time it takes for a plane to travel from London to new york, it would take a car (800/120)*7.33 = 49 hours non-stop travelling to reach either destination.

There would need to be fuel stations and floating hotels etc. on the bridge if it were to be built and that is definitely not feasible.

Emergencies could also occur, and with a bridge that long emergencies could be catastrophic.



In conclusion, russia has the correct ideas forgeters.

[·::Kishgal::·]

Oh, that's the route they wanted. That's even sillier.

[Blockhead8306]

Oh, that's the route they wanted. That's even sillier.

Except, you know, it's much harder to build a bridge over an entire ocean than over land and a strait.

[Jairo]

might wanna fix the title

[kanew2000]

what is a plane, something ducks walk on?

[General]

Except, you know, it's much harder to build a bridge over an entire ocean than over land and a strait.

Precisely, it requires less maintenance and also trust me a kilometre of any kind of bridge is far far more expensive to build than a kilometre of a road.

Also think maintenance costs, god damn it.

Imagine if it was a highway tho, where would the cars coming out of america switch from the right side of the road to the left side

probably all the way in london, where it would switch sides
not that it's actually a highway tho

$17,179,630,000.00 for a trillion rubles. Would barely even phase our national debt. Pretty sure they do mean dollars, and that would be for some the USA would have very little use for.

It's not like the US would pay for most of it
Russia can get as far in debt as they want


finally I can hitch a train ride to london!

As impractical as it sounds I wish for them to invent a way to make this work

Only way I will ever be able to visit Europe with my phobias

Only if mankind could make a machine that would lay down ashphalt for us, and level it perfectly, instead of having the slaves place down the hot tar by hand and flatten it with their callused feet.

Only if mankind could make a machine that would lay down rail for us, and level it perfectly, instead of having the slaves place down the hot steel by hand and flatten it with their callused feet.

Fixed

I am aware it is possible

But what I mean for invent a way is to discover a way to place buildings and such on the bridge

they didn't propose a highway
they proposed a railway
that site is just handicapped

I sure do wish people would actually loving read a thread before posting in it

[KickFlow]

why the forget aren't they going the other way?
Also it's stupid nonetheless.

You made russia seem less stupid in this situation, how?

[Mr Man]

For all of you saying it's a railway, both a highway and railway have been proposed alongside each other, but most of these talk about a highway
