North Pole view of the Bering Strait. A Bering Strait crossing is a hypothetical bridge or tunnel that would span the relatively narrow and shallow Bering Strait between the Chukotka Peninsula in Russia and the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. The crossing would provide a connection linking the Americas and Afro-Eurasia.
The bridge proposed in the report uses a four-span suspension bridge with a central tower height of 376 m, central span length of 3,000 m, and bridge length of about 8,400 m as the main bridge, connecting the Toyo Strait with two bridges, the extension would be about 12.7 km. [51] The total project cost is currently estimated to be about 1.3 ...

Beringia sea levels (blues) and land elevations (browns) measured in metres from 21,000 years ago to present. Beringia is defined today as the land and maritime area bounded on the west by the Lena River in Russia; on the east by the Mackenzie River in Canada; on the north by 72° north latitude in the Chukchi Sea; and on the south by the tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

During winter, the Bering Strait has historically been blanketed in ice. But this year, the ice has nearly vanished. "The usually ice-covered Bering Strait is almost completely open water," Zack ...
The Seward Peninsula is a remnant of the Bering land bridge, a roughly thousand-mile-wide swath of land connecting Siberia with mainland Alaska during the Pleistocene Ice Age. This land bridge aided in the migration of humans, as well as plant and animal species, from Asia to North America.
There isn't enough material for TKM-World Link, and there is no way that the Bering Strait tunnel is a separate project from the Bering Strait bridge. 199.125.109.84 23:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC) [ reply ]
