18 years after Californians voted for High Speed Rail, with the SF-to-not-quite-LA segment still >12 years off, state is now exploring High Speed Buses to connect SF and LA in 3h at 140mph (225km/h) (gizmodo.com)

I recommend looking at this map that includes all planned rails in gray.

Look at the one connecting Dalian and Yantai across the Bohai Strait (the one that forms a bay in the Northeast, near the Koreas). That's 120km of underwater tunnel, already in construction, planned to open in 2030
