Yea it took 10 years before the Woodrow Wilson bridge started pouring concrete to replace the crumbling I-495 bridge partly because there are like 5 governments having to work out all the issues related to a new bridge to replace what everyone agreed was a failing bridge. <br /> <br />Put the high speed railroads onto the map in the United States, it will place compete with regional airtravel on the ground. Imagine Little Rock to Baltimore in under 6 hours by maglev or similar which is usally the amount of time from leaving the house, flying and landing at Baltimore. <br /> <br />The problem is we would have to work out literally every inch of each line thru backyards, properties, evironmental opposition and political reluctance to spend money along with all the other things too numerous to list in today's society. <br /> <br />China has the ability and probably the will to do it. We should do the same.
