Russia-America tunnel in the pipeline?
A tunnel linking Russia's Far Eastern Chukotka and the west coast of Alaska in the U.S. will be discussed at a meeting between presidents Putin and Bush at the weekend, reports The Sunday Times newspaper in the UK. The two leaders are meeting in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Sunday.
The proposed 100-kilometre tunnel was first discussed in Tsarist Russia, but was soon abandoned because of a lack of funds.
It is estimated that a tunnel linking the two continents will cost $US 30 billion.
The Sunday Times is linking Roman Abramovich with the project. But the Chukotka governor, one of Russia’s richest billionaires, has dismissed the claims.
