The Union of Everett interstate route number assigned to the primary tunnel between Florida and Haiti is I-95U, or Interstate 95 Underwater. The portion of the planned Caribbean network, which spans from Miami, Florida to Cap-Haitien, Haiti, is a total of 600 miles of undersea tunnel, which floats 75 meters under the sea, held down with adjustable pylons and high tension cords anchored to the sea floor. The tunnel is designed to compensate for tectonic activity, and in worst case scenarios, seal sections into compartments, and detach from the sea floor anchors to float to the surface and break away into individual floating sections. This design is to preserve lives and reduce damage to the system, allowing for eventual repairs, and resettling and re-anchoring of sections. These sections ca

  • The Union of Everett interstate route number assigned to the primary tunnel between Florida and Haiti is I-95U, or Interstate 95 Underwater. The portion of the planned Caribbean network, which spans from Miami, Florida to Cap-Haitien, Haiti, is a total of 600 miles of undersea tunnel, which floats 75 meters under the sea, held down with adjustable pylons and high tension cords anchored to the sea floor. The tunnel is designed to compensate for tectonic activity, and in worst case scenarios, seal sections into compartments, and detach from the sea floor anchors to float to the surface and break away into individual floating sections. This design is to preserve lives and reduce damage to the system, allowing for eventual repairs, and resettling and re-anchoring of sections. These sections can also seal off areas with water breaches to contain flooding. I-95U features a rest stop every 50 miles, containing fuel stations, restaurants, restrooms, and emergency services. Everetti police stations are located every one hundred miles which would be used to respond to incidents. Fire, rescue and medical stations are located every 50 miles at each rest stop. I-95U has a speed limit of 75 miles per hour, which is enforced electronically. The tunnel utilizes state-of-the-art sensor systems to monitor flow of traffic, oxygen levels, vehicle emissions levels, ventilation function, speed enforcement, CCTV surveillance of criminal activity, and regulation of traffic using a series of traffic lights, LED signs and lighting on the highway lanes. The tunnel has an internal radio broadcast system for traffic advisories, tuned to 1620 AM (for standard 24 hour advisories and traffic information), and 95 FM (a multiple use station). The tunnel has four lanes of traffic each for the eastbound and westbound lanes, totaling eight lanes. Large trucks, motor homes and buses are required to remain in the right two lanes. A fifth lane is designed for drivers to make emergency stops only, and for emergency vehicles to access the tunnel bypassing traffic. In addition to the road for motor vehicles, there are three rail lines, two of which are standard train lines and one part of the Maglev system. The Caribbean International Highway Line also called the I-95 Line, is a section of the Everetti Maglev system that runs along the CIH Route 1 tunnel. These trains run daily, transporting thousands of people. The standard rail lines allow for conventional rail transportation, cutting down on truck usage of the interstates. The CIH Line stops at the I-95U Junction, allowing for passengers who are headed to Cuba or Yucatan to board other Maglev trains on their respective lines. The I-95U/I-932U Junction is a large, and the world's only undersea interstate and rail exchange, diverting traffic onward toward Haiti or Florida, or off-ramps and on-ramps connecting I-932U (which connects Florida to Yucatan), or CIH Route 2 (which connects Florida and Cuba). A large rest area, with a small mall, restaurants, shops, restrooms, and a Maglev train station accommodates travelers. I-95U is a proof-of-concept tunnel, as part of a future global construction project to build a global highway that spans the Earth. This would include the construction of bridges and free-floating tunnels that connect Quebec to Greenland, to Iceland, to the British Isles. Based on the 600 mile Florida-Haiti tunnel's success, it may lead to the planning stages of the global highway system, which could initially feature hyper Maglev transports to cross oceans in a matter of hours.
