A bridge from Europe to America, I just think it would simplify travel from where I live, I've always wanted to travel to America and never had the money and adding an extra mode of transport would likely reduce the cost and difficulty.
It could have rest stops every 20 miles or so, more than average lanes, with an emergency services lane and a midway city, between the two continents.
- dholowiski 14y agoThis is an interesting thought - first because it's totally crazy but that doesn't mean it's not a good idea. I wonder what the fuel cost of making this trip would be, compared to the cost of a flight? I guess you could build highs speed rail at the same time.
- rprospero 14y agoJust curious: Why rest stops every 20 miles? I'd imagine that the rest stops are going to give you traffic issues from people merging off and on. They're obviously necessary, but I'd put them every 150 miles, which still gives you a break every two hours while preventing the need to deal with 150 different merges along the trip.
- shanelja 14y agoI just assumed it would be more useful, plus, in this imaginary world where money is no issues, you could easily run 5 or more lanes with no issues. No one wants to walk 75 miles to get to the nearest stop when there car has broken down.
