Bering Strait Tunnel Observation

It is proposed that the Bering Tunnel start on the US side, from the town of Cape Prince of Wales, which has a population of 156 and about 80 buildings, including a large school, streets and general store, and end at the Russian settlement of Naukan or 2 km north at the Dezhnev settlement.

It is further proposed that the tunnel pass though both Little and Big Diomede islands which can be used for ventilation shafts and possibly as a relief station. Both Little Diomede (USA) and Big Diomede (Russia) have been occupied for hundreds of years. Little Diomede has a Inalik native village with a population of about 200 and has a high school, store, Post Office, a community hall and many residences.

The terrain of Cape Prince of Wales is very similar to the rolling grassy hills of Scotland and the gentle hill ends at a flat area at the Bering Strait with a very nice beach. The terrain of the Diomedes as well as the Russian Asiatic mainland is similar to the fiords of Norway, though the tops of the hills again are very similar to the rolling grassy hills of Scotland. Archeological findings, date back to over two thousand years.

There are relatively flat areas along the coast of Russia, around the proposed exit of the tunnel, that would be ideally suited for a major highway and rail transport.

In the winter time, the surface of the Bering Strait is frozen and it is possible to walk or even drive across the Strait, however, this is very dangerous, not to mention that crossing would be going across international borders. The tunnel would not be affected by the frozen Strait and tunnels under similar conditions have been constructed world wide.

WORLD RECORDS

The main breakthrough at the Gotthard Base Tunnel on March 23, 2011 in the Western tunnel and on October 15, 2010 in the Eastern tunnel marks the most significant milestone on the way to completing the longest railway 57-km dual tunnel in the world. (more)
