This article is part of WikiProject Alaska, an effort to create, expand, organize, and improve Alaska-related articles to a feature-quality standard.

Article has some serious issues, both overall quality and point of view(it seems to be written by someone who is clearly a proponent of the project). I don't know enough about the topic to feel comfortable doing the work myself, but it needs to be done.Arvis21 18:35, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

I think we should rename the article to "Bering Strait Bridge". The bridge has been proposed a few times. One of the proposals used the name "Intercontinental Peace Bridge", to promote it, but I don't think that is the best name for us to use for the proposed bridge. I will change the name one week from now if no objection. A link from "Intercontinental Peace Bridge" will be kept. BIL 15:52, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Please go ahead. Makes sense to me. Jarfingle 17:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed link across elsewhere?

Can anyone add more info on the possible plans of contructing a tunnel and/or bridge across to the other side elsewhere? I am quite curious as to whether any steps have been taken to decide to build infrastructure links across the:

• Strait of Messina
• Fehmarn Belt
• Cook Strait
• Palk Strait
• Strait of Tartary
• Irish Sea
• Strait of Bonifacio
• Surigao and San Bernardino Straits
• Hainan Strait
• Strait of Georgia
• Kvarken
• Chacao Channel bridge
• Strait of Magellan

Anyone with inside knowledge on any of these? I've posted similar requests elsewhere. Gruesome Twosome! 8v] //Big Adamsky 17:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

• Bass Strait is another possibility. njh 23:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How do you do it now?

Since there isn't a bridge right now, how do you travel over the land between Alaska and Russia with your car or motorhome? Could a boat or ferry pick up something as large as a motorhome? Zachorious 12:18, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Simple answer, you don't at all. There is no road from the Bering strait to major cities of Alaska. Same on the russian side. There are tourist flights in the summer, but before about year 2000 that did not exist because it is a Russian military sensitive area. BIL 15:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
