Sam blinked and said, "We can make a purchase request for that land in the name of developing a high-end tourist resort, of course, we must state that we claim full ownership of the land and declare that we have the right of first refusal and mining lease if mineral deposits are found on the land." It is estimated that the Alaska state government will not refuse. According to what you just said, this island has been surveyed three times, and it is estimated that no one believes that this island will have valuable mineral resources, otherwise this island would not have been exploited for hundreds of years. ”

"At the same time, we will also offer that if the state government agrees to sell us full ownership of the land and agrees to other conditions that we have proposed, then we will fund the construction of a bridge over the Tangas Strait to connect the city of Ketchikan with the island of Gravina, so that the Ketchikan International Airport will no longer be separated from the city of Ketchikan!"

Tang Feng's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "This gimmick is good!" The state of Alaska and the city of Ketchikan planned to build a bridge over the Tangas Strait, but the plan had to be abandoned due to financial problems. If we had offered to build the bridge, it is estimated that the government of Alaska and the city of Ketchikan would never have turned down this investment. After all, it's too much trouble to get to and from Ketchikan International Airport from the city of Ketchikan now, although it only takes seven minutes by ferry, but where is the bridge more convenient? ”

"That's the reason, this sea-crossing bridge has actually been stuck in the throat of the Alaska state government, especially the city of Ketchikan, which is limited by the terrain and has little room for development, but just across the strait more than 200 meters wide, in the east of Gravina Island, there is a large area of flat land that can be used. If a bridge can be built, then the development center of Kechikan can be tilted to Gravina Island, so that the development space of Kechikan has been greatly improved, which is definitely a great temptation for the Alaskan government and the city government of Kechikan. Confuse. And for the citizens of Kaichikan, the expansion of development space can also make them more comfortable. As long as we put forward this proposal, it will definitely be supported by the vast majority of people! It's just that this sea-crossing bridge may cost a lot of money. ”

Tang Feng smiled, took out Apade, clicked on Google Maps, and after three or two clicks, he adjusted to the vicinity of Kechikan City, pointed to the Tangas Strait and said, "Sam, look here." Here is the topographic map of Ketchikan. On the map, the narrowest point of the entire Tangas Strait is only 200 meters, but it is clearly not appropriate to build a bridge here because it is flanked by the yacht center on one side and the runway of the international airport on the other. And because it is a sea-crossing bridge, it must be far away from the airport runway, so the most suitable place should be here. ”

Tang Feng lit up an area on the south side of the airport runway and said, "Have you seen this section of the strait?" It is a full five kilometres from the runway, although it is still some distance from the building height requirement near the airport. But there is no other way, the whole island is so big. So this sea-crossing bridge can only be built here. ”

According to the relevant regulations of civil aviation, in an area of 10 kilometers from each side of the airport runway centerline and 20 kilometers outside the runway end, objects 30 meters above the original ground and 150 meters above the airport elevation shall be regarded as obstacles, unless special navigation studies have shown that they do not pose a hazard to the operation of the aircraft.

However, this requirement is obviously not suitable for Kechikan Airport, because it is less than 3 kilometers on both sides of Kechikan Airport, let alone 10 kilometers and 20 kilometers. It's a mountain at an altitude of thousands of meters, so that kind of regulation is not binding on Kechikan Airport. In fact, both take-off and landing at Kechikan Airport are carried out towards the north side of the runway, because the runway itself runs north-south. Less than 10 kilometers to the south of the runway, there is a mountain range with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, and at the northern end of the runway, it is empty. Therefore, the construction of this sea-crossing bridge at the southern end of the airport runway will not affect aircraft take-off and landing.

The place that Tang Feng refers to is actually located at the southern end of the Tangas Strait. The width of the strait here is more than 1,500 meters, but fortunately, in the middle of the strait, there is a narrow island called Pennock.

Stuck in the middle of the Tangas Strait, Pennok Island is about 3 kilometers long and almost 500 meters wide. The island divides the Tangas Strait in two, with a strait about 500 meters wide on each side of the island.

"Man, you're going to build a bridge here? In this way, the length of the bridge will increase a lot, and the cost will also increase a lot. Sam said.

Tang Feng nodded with a smile and said, "Man, don't look at the increase in the length of the bridge, but the actual cost should not increase much." Do you see the topography of Pennock Island? There are two mountains on this island with an altitude of more than 200 meters, when we build this sea-crossing bridge, we can use these two mountains, because if we use these two mountains as bridge piers, we can not only save a lot of costs but also ensure the height of the cross-sea bridge, at the same time, whether it is Gravina Island or Kechikan here, there are high mountains, we can choose a suitable height to directly build the bridge, so that the cost of the whole bridge will not be very high. ”

The construction of the sea-crossing bridge, the most expensive is undoubtedly the main pier, especially the main pier of the cable-stayed bridge, which can account for almost one-third of the cost of the entire bridge. Now there is a natural peak in the middle of the strait that can be used as the main pier, which will greatly reduce the cost of the entire bridge.

Although Sam didn't know how to build bridges, he knew a little about it, and after looking at the satellite map, he smiled and agreed with Tang Feng's idea.

If you can really build a sea-crossing bridge in this location as Tang Feng said, the cost will definitely not be high. If the whole bridge is counted as the approach bridge, the length can definitely be controlled at about 2,300 meters, so that after removing the cost of the main pier, the overall cost of the bridge should be about the same as the cost of a 1,200-meter-long cable-stayed bridge.

"Well, I'll first ask a friend to consult the approximate cost of building a bridge here, if it is appropriate, I will make another investment budget, and then we will take this investment budget together to negotiate with the Alaska state government, and it is estimated that the possibility of winning this land will be very high!" Sam was sure.

Tang Feng smiled. (To be continued......)
