Tunnel between Russia and the USA

Today I’ve read that a new tunnel is supposed to be built between Russia and the USA. Seems to be an extremely expensive affair. As a matter of fact, some are concerned about the technical feasibility of this project. Nevertheless, Russians are eager to realize it because it would increase trade between Asia and North America. In addition, travel coast could be cut.

I was surprised by the fact that the inspiration to build a tunnel across the 85-kilometre Bering Strait is not new. 100 years ago people thought about this project, but in became less important during the Soviet era.
