London to New York On Super Highway : May Be A Reality

If you’re in New York and you want to go to London, at the moment flying is the best option. It’s the quickest route from A to B, with the only other means of travel being to go by ship . But there is another out of box possibility: to create a super highway. 

A man named Vladimir Yakunin who is the head of Russian Railways presented a plan to create the ultimate road trip highway, by proposing a superhighway that allows transport from Nome, Alaska to Russia, through the Bering Strait, and on to Moscow and London.

Yakunin’s project is called the Trans-Eurasian Belt Development. The drive from London to Alaska would be around 8,064 miles, and the total distance to travel from New York to London would be 12,910 miles. The superhighway will have super challenges due to very tough climatic conditions on the Russian part and connecting road by creating 51 mile long bridge on the Bering Strait between Cape Dezhnev, Chukchi Peninsula, Russia, the easternmost point (169° 39' W) of the Asian continent and Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, United States, the westernmost point (168° 05' W) of the North American continent.

In the context of recent Ukrainian Russian conflict, this dream project may delay this project indefinitely but who knows this dream may become a reality in future.
