Bering Strait Crossing The World Peace King Bridge/Tunnel Proposal

Bering Strait Crossing First proposed in 1849 by the Governor of the Colorado Territory. Plan made in 1906 by a consortium of Americans, Russians and French.

1906 New York Times article New York Times, January 14, 1906

Bering Strait Bridge /Tunnel Proposal In June 2005, Rev. Moon announced his proposal to develop the Bering Strait project, essentially as an endeavor for world peace. The Universal Peace Federation has been promoting this peace initiative in conferences and venues around the world. In December 2005, PK International was established in Korea to promote the practical furtherance of this proposal.

Bering Strait Bridge /Tunnel Proposal This proposal is significant in two ways: It has high symbolic value for peace, in particular by linking the former enemy nations of the US and Russia; and bridging two continents. It has immense practical value by greatly facilitating the global transport, exchange of goods, increased interaction and engagement of the world’s peoples.

Bering Strait Peace King Bridge/Tunnel Ready movement of people and products around the globe essential to advancing peace and shared prosperity. Exchange and cooperation among nations. Possibility of tapping the vast natural resources of Alaska and the Russian Far East. Access to energy is key issue of this century.
