I-United States igcwele ngamathuba ohambo olumangalisayo, nokuba iqhuba eMelika kunye neeApos zeNdlela ezininzi zeScenic, ukuthatha uhambo olucothayo phantsi kwendlela ejikelezayo ebusika, okanye ukuya kwinduma yasentwasahlobo. Kodwa kwaneyona ndlela hamba eMelika iphaphathekileyo xa ithelekiswa nendlela ecetywayo e-super-highway eya kuthi idibanise iLondon neNew York ngendlela yeRussia neAlaska.

Isicwangciso sivela kuVladimir Yakunin, intloko yoololiwe baseRussia, ngubani ucebise umbono kwindlela ekuthiwa yi-trans-Siberian ku-Russian Academy weSayensi kwintlanganiso yonyaka ophelileyo, ngokwe ukuya kwi-CNN. Ukuba isicwangciso seYakunin esasisengqiqweni savela, kungakhokelela kuhola wendlela omalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-13,000 ubude obuya kugubungela umhlaba.

Indlela yayiqala eLondon ibaleke inqumleze iNtshona Yurophu, ngaphambi kokufudukela eRashiya. Apho yayiza kuhamba i-6,200 yeekhilomitha kwiNtshona yeRashiya idlula eSiberia, ecaleni kwento uYakunin ayibize ngokuba yiTrans-Eurasian Belt Development (TEPR), indlela enkulu eya kwakhiwa ecaleni kwendlela esele ikho iTrans-Siberian.

Abaqhubi baya kuthi emva koko bawele umgama oziimayile ezingama-55 ubude weBering Strait (ibhulorho kunye / okanye izicwangciso zeetonela iseyi-TBD) naseNome, eAlaska, kwikhaya lomdyarho wenja ye-Iditarod. Okwangoku akukho ndlela idibanisa iNome neFairbanks. (Xa ubuzwa, iimephu zikaGoogle zibonisa uxinzelelo, Uxolo, asikwazi ukubala umkhombandlela wokuqhuba ukusuka 'eNome, AK' ukuya 'eFairbanks, AK. )

Ukuba icebo likaYakinin libandakanya iskimu sokufumana imoto ukusuka eNome ukuya eFairbanks, ukusuka apho kulula iiyure ezingama-69, iimayile ezingama-4 249 ukusuka eFairbanks unqumla iNtshona Canada, udlula eMantla Dakota, emva koko uye eMpuma United States ngaphambi kokufika kwisiXeko saseNew York.

Ngelishwa iphupha elikhulu lika-Yakunin liza ne-trillion-dollar tag tag kwaye akukho sicwangciso sokuba ngubani oza kuyinyathela ibhili. Njengoko Amanqaku kaMaxim , eyenza okokugqibela Uhambo lwendlela Uxinzelelo olungenakwenzeka. Kude kube eli phupha libiza kakhulu libe yinto yokwenyani, abantu abafuna ukonwaba kuya kufuneka bonelisekile ngokuzama ukuqhutywa kweCannonball, ngelixa abaqhubi bangeCawa benza indlela yabo ecaleni kwePacific Coast Highway.
