What about the famous Straight of Belle Isle crossing?

It would span from the middle of nowhere to the middle of nowhere, and would cost zillions.

Alas, the tunnel looks like a white elephant in the making. The site is 12 hours by road from St John's, Newfoundland's main town (of 180,000 people). A new road links Red Bay, on the mainland, to Cartwright, but neither place has links to anywhere very useful. Mr Kierans talks of 3,000 cars a day using the tunnel. That smacks of fantasy: the proposed bridge linking Sicily (pop: 5m) to Calabria (pop: 2m) is expected to carry fewer than 5,000 cars a day.
