London to New York by car

Who would even contemplate such a trip? It was proposed by Vladimir Yakunin, the head of the Russian State Rail Company until 2015. The estimated cost of building the necessary road connections? Several trillion US dollars. How long would the road from London to New York be? 20,777 kilometres, 10,000 of which would stretch through Russia alone.

Even at its narrowest, the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska is some 80 kilometres wide. How to get across it? Yakunin didn’t say. Ferries, a tunnel, a bridge – all the options would be extremely expensive. Nonetheless, Yakunin contended that the economic benefits of such a project would outweigh the costs.
