	Trans Global Highway. A proposal by Frank X. Didik, May 2006
		It is proposed that the AmerAsian Peace Tunnel start on the US side, from the town of Cape Prince of Wales, which has a population of 156 and about 80 buildings, including a large school, streets and general store, and end at the Russian settlement of Naukan or 2 km north at the Dezhnev settlement.
		The terrain of Cape Prince of Wales is very similar to the rolling grassy hills of Scotland and the gentle hill ends at a flat area at the Bering Strait with a very nice beach.
		The proposed segmented, prefabricated tunnels could provide for both vehicle as well as rail transport, though with the potential complexity of ventilation, a Chunnel approach may have to be taken, whereby the vehicles are transported by electric powered railroad, through the tunnel.
