- pjc50 3y agoDepends on the terrain, and for such a lightly-trafficked place that would probably be uneconomic.
- treprinum 3y agoChina could do it in Tibet which seems to be similarly populated/trafficked, on top of thawing permafrost. It's only 414 miles as well whereas the Tibet one is 1215 miles.
