Those keen to cast off the shackles of air travel will one day be able to drive all the way from London to New York; if Russian Railways has its way.

Russia is reportedly planning to make the seemingly far-fetched dream a reality, making the almost 21,000km journey possible by road.

This isn’t an April Fools prank as far as we can see, as The Siberian Times reported the announcement a few days back following a meeting at the Russian Academy of Science in Moscow.

The road - dubbed the Trans-Eurasian Belt Development - would complement the existing Trans-Siberian railway line while adding new oil and gas pipelines.

A narrow section of sea between Russian and Alaska has been identified as a potential crossing for the project’s most important link - a connection between Asia and North America.

Whether this link would be a pair of bridges, a tunnel, a ferry or otherwise is unclear, but the minimum distance would be nearly 90km.
