A Bering Strait tunnel/ bridge network has been proposed, and it wouldn’t cost too much for the US to build. Only a few billion dollars, which Congress can sneeze and accidentally spend that much. The real issue is that connecting The US and Russia with the interstate highway system has political problems that seem to be insurmountable at the current time.
I personally would support the plan. That would allow the US to deploy HIMARS systems to the Ukrainian forward fronts in Siberia and Chukotka.
Edit: if such a highway network were to be completed, it would theoretically be possible to drive/ take trains to get from anywhere in North America to anywhere in Europe, Africa, and Continental Asia. Connecting South America, and Australia would be the challenges at that point.
There’s a reason we don’t have a tunnel between North America and Europe. Don’t think we’re there yet.

A few billion? Vancouver BC is spending that on an new sewage treatment plant.
How could a tunnel like this be built and functional for a few billion? Perhaps hundreds of billions… maybe.
