      Left in left driving countries and switch to right in right driving countries. Or if you have to pick one then right because most of the world drives on the right side.

    The seven hurdles:
    1. Congo River
    2. Strait of Gibraltar
    3. Ferry in Siberia
    4. Highways throughout eastern Siberia
    5. 3 bridges over the Bering Strait, including roads over the Diomede islands
    6. Even more highways throughout Alaska until Fairbanks
    7. The Darien Gap

    Perhaps tunnels in some of these spots would be more feasible? Generally, tunnels are more expensive than bridges, but when talking about crossing open ocean where weather and waves need to be accounted for, perhaps Chunnel-like crossings would end up being safer and more practical.

With a huge machine but the elements are found on the earth moon or mars but this is where humans start already to be away from earth. And i don't have a depression point of vue, i am just realistic. And i think that going away from earth is not depressive. it's like a move, but at a bigger scale making us able to discover new things and understand better the universe. i talk from billion of years from now, but we will more probably all be dead and the natural selection will make better being. I can prove that we are not the best being already because you don't agree with me and i don't agree with you.

One night as the priest was praying he asked God to build a bridge fro San Francisco to Hawaii. God responded that it was an impossible task because of the depth of the ocean and the distance. The priest felt disappointed thought about it and then asked God well I know that the bridge is a Big task then can I ask you to help me at least to understand women. After a few minutes of silence God replied oh by the way about that bridge 2 or 4 lanes?

    About a bridge between Australia and Papua New Guinea: there is actually a group of islands, called the Torres Strait Islands, located in the Torres Strait between the northern tip of Australia and the southern part of Papua New Guinea. These islands are of decent size and the Strait is pretty shallow. I would say that a set of bridges linking the north of Australia to the south of Papua New Guinea through the Torres Strait Islands would be just as feasible (perhaps even more so) than the set of bridges between Russia and Alaska.
