My own thought when I saw the program is that, given recent improvements
in tunneling technology, a tunnel might be more practical.

That'd be a switch...we dig a tunnel so that people from Asia can come

Actually, you're not alone. I saw something on TV recently about a plan
to build a bridge there. It'd be a massive record-breaker, and useable

Not only that but it would require that bouth the USA and Russia build highways
connecting it to civilized society many hundreds of miles away.

If it ever was built, you could drive a car or even ride a bike from Argentina
to South Africa!
