I was really hoping for this level of engineering pedantry and sensibility, thank you.
Comment on Why doesn't the US build a bridge here to connect Alaska to the mainland? Are they stupid?

That would be a very long bridge, probably too long to biuld. Notice the size of lake Ponchartrain by New Orleans, which is 24 miles. This would be a bridge hundreds of miles long. It's likely not feasible, sadly.
