Russia’s Plans for a Tunnel to Alaska

- Russia and China are considering building a 100 billion dollar tunnel across the Bering Strait, providing the first physical link between Asia and North America. The idea for a Bering Strait bridge or tunnel has existed for a while. Recently though, Russia and China have proposed modern tunnels across the strait. These tunnels would have major benefits. They would improve intercontinental trade, cooperation and serve as feats of engineering. Unfortunately though, due to the current infrastructure and geographic conditions, they would be very expensive and difficult to construct.

“connecting the americas to all continents”
australia: 👁👄👁
Technically speaking, Australia is not the continent, Oceania is the continent
Anatrtica: (-_-)
Antarctica Am I a joke to you?
Yup but that just isn't gonna happen because they cap between Australia and Indonesia is VERY big
Don't worry about us here in Australia. We prefer to be an island. We don't want no tunnel to here. I think that Russia and China might have an issue doing this project since it would require the US to be onboard and I don't think that is likely to happen.
you know at this point everyone is just planning to build a tunnel smh

@@MemoirsofaBasketcase everyone does that though.
A bridge could probably be built quicker than a tunnel, since multiple spans of a bridge could be constructed at the same time.

I think it's pretty unrealistic at the moment, different country may use different type of rail for example Europe and Russia rails are incompatible

This would honestly be pretty cool if actually constructed! Just imagine the vacation travel stories.
This would most likely be for shipping and cargo there aren't many who live in that exact point in Russia and western alaska not to mention there aren't a huge amount of people who would actually take the tunnel if it were for driving and travelling

I wanna say they’ve already done a video on that but if not, maybe they can suggest building a tunnel underneath the Darien Gap
They want to prevent diseases from the south infecting the north(cows).
economy would be major problem to build that road , it would need massive investment, small countries can't afford it
@Rose please
Given all the difficulties, quite possibly they should just run a subsea tunnel around the Darien gap, too.

Let’s talk about seismic activities stability in the region first.
Exactly
The nearest tectonic plate boundary passes through the Asian continent, NOT through the Bering Strait!
@@beringstraitrailway yes.
@Ischua_88 around but not in the Bering strait, the Aleutian Islands get most of the earthquakes in the region
Those videos about tunnels to Japan seems technically more plausible and economic more sound, plus Japan might be willing to invest more then the U.S.
Just for the record: from military perspective, tunnels are close to useless and harmless regarding invasions. Using them is the best way for a military disaster. Even when you control both exit points before transporting units trough it, it remains a very vulnerable route for sabotage attacks below sea levels with dept charges, torpedo;s and other means.
I remember seeing a video of a proposed tunnel between northern Japan and Russia and I think that it would be more feasible to tie in this Bering Strait tunnel with the Japan-Russia link. It would be a shorter route and on account of geopolitics, I trust Japan over China in collaborating with Russia on such a project
Russian guy: I can build a bridge to Alaska.
Putin: Time to get back what's mine!
Lol
@Rose you don't really believe that do you?

This is my go to channel to learn about mega tunnel and bridge projects
Good and objective review
You should mention that there is a privately financed plan to connect Alaska to Alberta via Rail which would handle the connection part to North American freight network. With that said geo political concerns and environmental concerns would be hardest part to deal with for a project like this.
dont think that will happen now lol
The US does not need a tunnel connecting Alaska with Russia.
The two countries do not trade or do tourism on a level that warrants a tunnel, or even a bridge.
The tunnel would create new tourism or trade, it’s a good investment for the future, and it will help develop those areas.
@@eggrollsoup
bills hit, the climate in the area is too cold and actually uninhabitable.
This can only mean an invasion ploy. THINK 🤔
This is not a necessary venture.
Perhaps you should do your own research.
. . . or travel by yourself, you'll find you will be all by yourself.
This is not a good thing, it's like a bridge that leads to nowhere.
Nice video
That's the mega project I'm most hyped for! To go from Petropawlowsk to Anchorage by train
only I who want to see a tunnel between Hokkaido and Sakhalin?
Me too
would be amazing but probably isnt very important
@@djordjerasic7482 you have a point. But its fun to think about
I think this is even the furthest developed new international tunnel project right now
I dont think that will happen until Japan and Russia resolve their territory dispute.
Trains don’t have to compete with planes because trains are closer to towns and have relaxed security which would equal out the time difference
Amazing idea and cant wait to see it happen ! If it does.
Would be cool, but the geopolitical climate of the countries involved is going to have to cool down a whole lot before this happens. That is a bigger hurdle than anything else
I'm Russian and never heard about this tunnel. Great idea it's better to invest in infrastructure than in weapons.
Plus it could have positive geopolitical implications for both the US and Russia, which I think the entire world could benefit from
Hyperloop would be a handy attempt in these path, only i recommend what I'd nick name, 'Turbineloop', air parallel in motion with the craft sync ratio with its top speed support of 250~390kmh, while the cart/pod/train is at over 700mph, its cut the sonic barrier range under, with a moving wind tunnel. No decompression or infistructure management THAT space age in expense.
I never thought of this before this video and now I'm like, THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
Several months ago the USA gave its assent to the proposed Alaska To Alberta (A2A) Railway to connect the Alaska Railroad (ARR) in the North Pole/Delta Junction, AK area with the CN at Fort McMurray, AB, so that part is already being covered.
Let them first build a road connecting Komchatkra and Chukotka to the rest of Russia and we can talk about building an underwater tunnel in the arctic.
I love your channel.
nice video
He forgot the BIGGEST issue, which is that particular region of Russia is completely off limits even to Russians. So there's no point in building a bridgr/tunnel if you won't let anyone use it.
That part of the Siberia area is off-limited to human inhabitants because the forbidden territory belongs to woolen mammoths and their secret sanctuary.
@@timetraveler2518 oh wow I didn’t know that that’s weird
@@VccTn sorry, I made this up. Woolly mammoth died out about 4000 years ago. However, there was evidence of woolly mammoth fossils on the island at the north of Siberia and not far from Alaska. Here is the info.

@@VccTn bruh moment
Russian wants to see this built so they will need to approve a transportation corridor through those sensitive areas, in order to get the rail network built. I believe they will do that.
please make a video about the plan to transform the qatara depression in egypt into a lake
Love this project, if the depression was fully filled up, it would lower the ocean level by ~3-3.5mm. This would buy us 1 year in rising ocean levels and could safe tons of money around the world.
Yesssss
Yes please! I once calculated if the qatara depression was filled with seawater, it would lower global sea level .125 inches (about 3mm). It may offset sea level rise for a year or so and create climatological benefits for egypt.
Fill all the below sea level zones... and re-green all arid zones:
1. Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee, Israel, Jordan
2. Lake Assal, Djibouti
3. Turpan Depression, China
4. Qattara Depression, Egypt
5. Caspian Depression and Arial Sea, Kazakhstan
6. Laguna del Carbon
7. Death Valley, CA, USA
8. Salton Sea, CA, USA
9. Lake Eyre, Australia
10. Rift Valley, Kenya
11. Taklamakan Desert, China
12. Sahara Desert, North Africa
etc... Some are a work in progress, others are in need of inspiration and motivation.
@@geoffreythorberg2580 is their videos on these project's???
Do it! In Sydney, Australia, a tiny 10km tunnel seems to cost the same as this 80km+ tunnel. The benefits are immense! Freight, tourism, etc.
Everyone is forgetting that these rail lines will have to go through Canada.
These are insane plans can’t wait to see something along the bering in the future!
Like everyone else I was excited when I first heard about a tunnel.
But after watching this it kind of seems a very difficult undertaking.
The perma frost for one would be a problem.
I would think engineering would come up with solutions for every obstacle.
The possibilities if it were to be built of course are endless.
The jobs it would create would be mind blowing throughout the world 🌍🌎.
There would have to be a Kennedy type commitment I think for this to even get started.
It probably could be completed within a decade with a commitment and I would be able to hop a train and spend the holidays somewhere in Germany or wherever.
Yes! We need that!
I'd rather spend money to build this tunnel than waste it going to Mars to collect rocks.
Collecting rocks is only the first stage. We can't afford not to travel in space. Staying as a single planet civilization is just too risky
Truly a great idea to help ease tensions.
This has been proposed for a long time. The tunnel depends on better US-Russian-Chinese relations and trade.
Cool video keep up the god Work
That will be great !
7:40 yes but all the fret between china and the us is currently transported by boat and plane, both super polluting, and a train connetion would provide an option almost as cheap as boats and almost as fast as planes, and that doen't emit much co2, so it would actually probably be a good thing for the envirronment
I think this will only work as a freight line. There is literally no-one who is going to drive or take a train from e.g. Seattle to Vladivostok. People would just take a plane.
Freight, however is no problem. It doesn't matter if it takes freight a week to travel between e.g. China and the 48 US states.... But I don't think this will actually be profitable for decades.
You'd be surprised. An 80-year old grandmother drove from Cape Town (South Africa) all the way to Britain via the Egyptian land connection with the Middle East. It took her two weeks. And she visited 50 countries at the same time.
I'd rather take a train between the two
Interesting thanks

-Phineas and Ferb's mom
so true aahah
Since the world already knows about the tunnel between Great Britain and France, it seems feasible to also build a tunnel between Russia and the U. S. The only problem that I could see about the plan is the fact there are few roads at either end to go anywhere.
but people had the same issue when building the first roads and railways. They had to start from nothing.
There aren't few roads, there are NO roads.
The reason there are no roads on the russian side is because there is nowhere to go. The only town of any consequence is 4300km away. The Channel tunnel is 60 miles to the South of me. This is a very different place.
*China and Russia* “we want to tunnel into the United States..” *United States* “uuuuuuhhhhhhhh” lemme get back to you
Russia must be furious, they sold Alaska
if you look at the momentum.. it's the usa going into the toilet.. not china.. not sure what russia is doing..
@@kymanibrown8039 Not so many people wants to live in a cold place, even Russians(16% of population concentrated in two cities, 73% live in European part). To develop the territories near and beyond the Arctic Circle we pay people there x1.5 and x2 salaries. Alaska might stay almost unpopulated if it was not sold. By the way, even such a rich country as the United States is not very good at Alaskas development. Canada also has problems with the northern territories.
@@kymanibrown8039 Putin said he doesn’t want it back he wants the old USSR satellites back
@@ddr3629 yeah, but the true beaty of it are resourses. Maybe nobody would live there, but if it was still part of Russia, then Russia, already being one of the largest oil exporters, would have a near monopoly on oil trade, shared with only some middle eastern countries like Saudi Arabia
Also if the permafrost thaws and all the ice melts, sea levels will rise, so meaning they have to built the bridge or a tunnel even longer
I hope that happens one day because I'm deathly afraid of planes. I'm planning a trip to Alaska in the near future but via my Jeep. I've already googled the drive and it will take me approximately 3 days to arrive from where I live, (Baja California.)
I just want to be able to see for myself how it looks to be able to see Russia from Alaska. Must be an amazing view!
As the Poles continue to melt, USA + Russia trade routes and shipping lanes open up. USA and Russia can grow more trade and cooperation - it profits both nations and they share many cultural values...

Also reminds me of Battlefield bad company 2's ending
If only we could collaborate as a species instead of as countries, the things we could build would be phenomenal.
This rail link may be difficult, but really it’s just a drop in the bucket when the project is tackled by every major superpower, the benefits of the link would be immense, making boats and planes nearly obsolete for the majority of people.
The train ride might be a little longer, but it will be a lot more comfortable, and environmentally friendly.
And cargo ships can’t even compete on speed, let alone emissions and safety.
This I love to see very much😊
Tunnel is a great idea maybe i can finally drive there. Neighbor's are supposed to get along and respect each other not make fake news about Russia for decades.
For the time being it would be pretty awesome to have a ferry service.
Your right.trains go as far as they can then ferries take it from there.
I think that would be cost effective as far as freight.
There would have to be a large amount of ferries.
Probably hundreds.
Excellent idea ! The application of robotics, AGI ,material science and big data as well as weather control will solve all the problems. As far as railway, maglev trains and hyper loop tech inside the tube would be the solution. Money is not an object. It would be great if nations could combine know how and bridge the difference:-)
I wish, one thing we always ignore in Economics is the human element-humans aren’t 100% responsible nor 100% rational. Only in economic theory can we play with this idea, I can already see Congress lambasting a proposal to lobbyist looking to score big.
UK Gov't: For £100bn we'll build a 230km high-speed railway linking London with part of the North.
China: For £100bn we'll build a 10,000km high-speed railway linking Asia with North America.
Why would we want to have a tunnel to our enemies?
biggest enemy is in the white house
There is absolutely no appetite for high speed rail in either Canada or the US. Alaska's terrain would make it almost necessary to tunnel most of the state let alone dealing with the extreme cold and weather. This is probably one of the biggest pipe dreams I've ever seen. Just not going to happen, given the relationship that Russia and China has with the US and the strained relationship between China and Canada.
Hoping they add passenger rail to that tunnel. That could help reduce the greenhouse gasses you mentioned. And while you're at it, get it to run all the way to Schengen.
Nice!
Aren’t water and air technically a physical link as well?
No shit but this is a land connection
But I don't think this could happen in the near Future, because of the tense political situation between China and the US.

@@AdamSmith-gs2dv Russian relations are better than China and the US. The Americans are forced to cooperate with China, but would much rather have another bussiness partner.

Honestly, a good way to solve the problem of different systems of measurements would be to make it more of a highway for 18-Wheelers and such. A Boering Tunnell outfitted for Tesla and official vehicles would be interesting, to say the least.
Venting the exhaust fumes will be a major challenge.
This is very good
you can go from Lisbon to Vladivostok by rails. just saying.
btw, what about Canada? any railway or road from Alaska to the Contiguous 48 crosses Canadian territory.
the Canadians will take it 😘
Then they will build another underwater tunnel from Alaska to Washington State 😂
With a combined (USA, Russia, China) GDP of $35.77 trillion dollars....I would expect for it to be built already
Its just hard to convince governments honestly. While it is feasible, America is at a trade war with china, and it might benefit China more than it might benefit the US. While it sounds petty and isolationist, It just does not make sense for Americas current political situation.
It's feasible, just not economically viable, at least in the short term. About the only part that could be profitable is an associated oil pipeline; rail and road transport simply doesn't offer substantial advantages over ship (the lowest cost option) and air (the fastest option) transport. In the long run I think it would do a lot to help develop both western Alaska and the Chukchi Peninsula, but it would take decades to see any real results and governments don't tend to plan that long term in this day and age.

Being on the ring of fire, I don't find that decision to be very wise
Santiago de Chile has a subway, and it suffered a M9.1 earthquake without damage, Tokyo the same. But an infrastructure like that has increased costs.
They can just build the underground tunnel across the Bering Strait just like for the UK and France. They also need to build Eurotunnel-style stations on each side. One on the USA side and the other on the Russian side. Also they need to build special train cars to house cars and buses for vehicles own by people who want to travel by car. The trains need to be strong enough to pull train cars with buses, cars and freight trucks. Train cars for human passengers, train cars for passenger vehicles/buses for people who want to travel back and forth between the new world and the old world and freight trucks. And also people will also have to book and pay for a trip across the Bering Strait at tunnel stations on both sides and show their passports. Russia and China will get together building the tunnel on their side and the United States needs to get with Canada to build their side. Plus, the USA needs a president who will be for it.
I just hope to see that day when whole world come together helping each others, where there is no room for any wars... That day will be a dream day for humankind.
That will most likely happen hundreds of years from now, not happening any time soon

@@roodborstkalf9664 For an imaginary train tunnel? Good luck selling that.
@fpeletz Better watch it yourself see czcams.com/video/UdYD3QAvh58/video.html
@fpeletz : in a way transport is quite easy. You have larger and smaller ships, trains, trucks and planes, all with prices per product/per distance. Products have higher or lower value/m3, and higher or lower levels of perishability and fashionalibity. All prices in this system vary according to supply and demand of all factors, trends in technology and government (mis)interference. A tunnel under the Bering street will in the long run probably result in great quantities of more expensive, more perishable and more fashionable Eurasian goods entering the North-and South-American market by train and vice-versa. There is room for at least 50 and maybe 500 freight trains per day. There will also be a tourist market for adventurous people traveling by car from Bariloche to Capetown.
@fpeletz : Yes, I'm fortunate enough to live in North-Western Europe.
You conveniently forgot that the rail lines has to go through Canada. It will not be happening without Canada consent.
Yeah But Canada will consider anything when it comes to boosting there economy especially for low develop part of it 🇨🇦🇺🇸
