The bridge over Atlantic

What kind of bridge would you like to build over Atlantic?

We all know well beam bridges, cantilever bridges, arch bridges, suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges and truss bridges. But the main question is – why there is no bridge over Atlantic.

The thing is to put the goal at the first place. If you need to reach USA from France, you don’t need a bridge. You’d better to take a jet.

It is weird that a lot of people still construct the bridges over Atlantic. They think in terms of functions and implementations details but not goals. It is weird and sad – it takes a lot of time and energy to resist these people.
