Bridging the Bering Straits Project

 


 

 

Extreme engineering :

 

 

A huge bridge linking two continents, it is a project which sounds like science-fiction. However, several engineers are making serious studies on this. This bridge could firstly constitute a symbol of a reconciliation between eastern and western countries, but also this could bring economically, things to Russia, and to other countries creating an other means of communication and exportations. So, what about these political and economic stakes ? But also how to build this bridge what kind of studies are made? and what about other bridges in the world ?
