Technically you could. It would be a marvel of engineering and would cost billions of dollars, and you couldn’t go through the center of the Earth, but technically it is possible
Do we have the technology to do that considering the increasing heat, gravity, and magnetic force as one goes deeper? I feel like anything we could do would involve lots of nukes that would basically destroy the planet in the process.
A Bering Strait tunnel/ bridge network has been proposed, and it wouldn’t cost too much for the US to build. Only a few billion dollars, which Congress can sneeze and accidentally spend that much. The real issue is that connecting The US and Russia with the interstate highway system has political problems that seem to be insurmountable at the current time.
I personally would support the plan. That would allow the US to deploy HIMARS systems to the Ukrainian forward fronts in Siberia and Chukotka.
Edit: if such a highway network were to be completed, it would theoretically be possible to drive/ take trains to get from anywhere in North America to anywhere in Europe, Africa, and Continental Asia. Connecting South America, and Australia would be the challenges at that point.

Nobody said how deep the runnel has to be. Could be just below common tunnel depth.
There’s a reason we don’t have a tunnel between North America and Europe. Don’t think we’re there yet.

You’ve got me there!
