Should the U.S. and/or Russia build an 'intercontinental' bridge across the Bering Strait, from/to the U.S. via Russia, by way of the Diomede Islands?

OMG...can you imagine? That would be crazy. Pretty desolate areas on both sides. I am not clear on what the point of doing that would be.

No, it wouldn't be a good idea.
There is very little on the American side of the Bering Strait, and nothing at all on the Russian side.
There aren't even very many roads in that whole upper part of Siberia.
If we were to build a bridge there, it would be a waste of money.

You are Shakespeare, write a lyrical ballad and that would bridge North America with Asia. Physical bridges may fall apart but emotional bridges would work and work fast and long.

i have seen this many times on the discovery channel.... its not possible, there is not any type of bridge in the world capable of this they would have to combine every type imaginable and then come up with some new ones! it would bankrupt too many people, just like the tower they want to make in Tokyo, its not practical!

Too expensive. It's impossible. Would there be a gas station in there too cause for sure cars will run out of gas?

unpracticle, a tidal wave would probably take you out half way through or a whale would land across all four lane. how would you get gas?

If it was financially feasible yes, the short answer is no one can afford that project.
