What If We Built a Road Around the World?

Imagine an ultimate road trip across the globe. On a highway along the equator. Wait, there is no highway along the equator... yet. So how about we build one? What would it take to construct the longest road on Earth? How long would you spend behind the wheel to complete this epic journey? And why would building this highway upset environmentalists?

What If elsewhere:

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure through time, space and chance while we (hopefully) boil down complex subjects in a fun and entertaining way.

Really does sound like fun, despite the fact that it is incredibly risky.

Fun fact:- Earth's 70% surface is covered with water and according to this channel it will take 17 days to take a round of equator and you will spend 12 days in under water tunnel and 12 days are 70.5882352% of 17 days.
What a coincidence

[kimjongun]

Instead of building such a long road across ocean, why can just build roads that connect continents, like a series of roads connecting islands of Indonesia to Australia, having a road built from russian east coast to Alaska.
