Sakhalin Tunnel
The Sakhalin Tunnel is an incomplete and currently postponed construction project, which after completion would connect the island of Sakhalin with mainland Russia via a tunnel of approximately 10 km under the Nevelskoy Strait (the narrowest part of the Strait of Tartary). On 16 January 2009, it was suggested by the Russian government the link could be completed with a bridge, rather than tunnel.
