it will make no differance to trade as its a 10,000 mile road trip from london. it will cost a lot more in fuel alone than the 2.5 to 3000 pounds it costs to send a container to miami even tho there are talks of a tunnel
dont see where he mentioned london ?
he didnt i just used it as an example but its still nearly 8000 miles if u take moscow
Surely the link would be to Alaska not Canada?
I doubt it makes Economic sense to build a link let alone all the infrastructure they’d have to build to link it do any decent areas of population.
The population of Alaska is around 800,000 it looks about the same size as Western you then go into Northern Canada also Sparsely populated as most of centres of population are near the US border.
From the little I know of Russia most of the centres of population are in the western part the .
So basically the shortest route between the Centres of population of Western Europe and Russia to the US and Canada, seem to be across the Atlantic.
Even getting goods from China to the Western side of the US the shortest distance is across the Pacific.
its a toby post,dont waste time taking it serious…

He has been reading those sci-fi mags again, the ones with the sticky pages…
The 55 mile long bridge across the Bering Strait would connect Asia and North America for the first time since the continents touched each other. At an estimated cost of 15 to 25 billion dollars this proposal is not only expensive but fraught with challenge. Ice breakup after each winter is violent and would destroy normal bridge piers. Specially shaped massive piers along the ocean floor would be needed to keep the bridge stable.
Let’s sort the lack of parking out in the UK first eh?
last time i used that route, it was on a chartered ferry.
Michael Palin made it on his around the globe tv series,never changed his brown shirt and trousers and trusty man bag.!
Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman went that way, but they flew from Magadan, which seemed to be where the road ran out.
It seems though if you have a land Rover you’ll give it a go Summer or Winter
