It would be fun to see and I hope it'll be a reality in my lifetime ;)

there was some other projects suggested in the past like this one mentionned at http://www.kurumi.com/roads/3di/ix71.html#fn




QuoteA 1970s Ohio/Ontario plan proposed a 47-mile bridge over Lake Erie, from I-271 in Willowick, Ohio, to Port Stanley, Ontario, and contining as a freeway to the Route 401 near London.

The single-span bridge would have carried four lanes, with two different suspension bridge crossings of shipping channels. The cost estimate in the 1970s was about $1 billion, and the toll would have been large. The above alignment was the most direct of three studied; the others slanted to the east and west, the longest one about 70 miles.

Meanwhile, we could also try for high-speed ferry linking Cleveland and Erie, PA with Ontario.

Not going to work in the winter last year the lake froze over solid

Rate we're going we'll need a bridge from Cincy to Cleveland with all this water we've had to absorb in Ohio this year.
Please, don't sue Alex & Andy over what I wrote above
