Renowned American investor Jim Rogers has endorsed the long-discussed idea of building a tunnel between Russia’s Far East and Alaska, calling the concept “wonderful” and expressing hope that the project may someday come to life.
Speaking about the proposed Russia–US link via the Bering Strait, Rogers said it would be “wonderful if it were easy to drive between Russia and the United States, even into Alaska,” noting that such a connection could open an entirely new chapter in global transportation and trade.
Rogers’ remarks come as the idea gains fresh attention. Russia’s presidential envoy for investment and economic cooperation, Kirill Dmitriev, recently confirmed that discussions about a Russia–Alaska tunnel are indeed underway, although he did not provide additional details.
The ambitious project long seen as an engineering marvel in concept would physically link Eurasia and North America, creating one of the world’s most strategic cross-continental corridors. While significant geopolitical, financial, and technical challenges remain, statements from both Rogers and Dmitriev suggest renewed interest in exploring its feasibility.
