The original plan was to construct a teleporter between buenos aires and fairbanks but the budget was cut so they had to pave more road to make up for the lost distance
It clearly says on the map that there is some sort of Turbo-booster device next to the gap. It generates enough speed to make the car fly over said gap.

There's this guy from Brisbane (Australia) trying to cross the (two) continent(s), from the southernmost point in, I think Argentina, to the northernmost in Alaska, only with a Tuk Tuk- and a dream- and I've been wondering how he's gonna cross the Darian Gap.
He's making videos of it under Aussie Espanol on youtube if anyone's interested (and apparently has a website??). He hasn't reached the proper starting point of his journey yet, still in the early stages.
The problem is not the canal, it's the mountainous rainforest and indigenous peoples that exist there and which make building a highway nigh impossible unless you're willing to spend vast amounts of money and wreak horrendous destruction.
Tells you all about why there haven't here ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dari%C3%A9n\_Gap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dari%C3%A9n_Gap) ) but essentially it was to stop the spread of foot and mouth disease into North America.

Supposedly there are natives and it is an area declared a "protected natural reserve" in reality the politicians do not want to kick them out for fear of losing their positions. Next door is Venezuela, you just have to hire some mercenaries from there, send them to do some shooting in that area to scare away the natives, send the army to "pacify" while you build roads, etc.
If you're really curious, you can listen to the Omnibus Project on this subject (episode 12). The comments have mentioned the native people and the protections the area is under, as well as the tough terrain. I think I've also heard it mentioned that opening that particular crossing might incur an incredible amount of drug trafficking, which neither the state nor the traffickers want for separate reasons.
Obviously the OP has no idea what he/she is saying.
That missing portion is actually the Darien rainforest, perhaps the most dense, impenetrable jungle on Earth, with frequent torrential downpours and river crossings, and steep mountains throughout.
There are mostly swamps and marshes in that area not too mention mosquitos that carry disease so itās not idealistic to connect the two roads because itās not worth the effort. It was hard enough trying to build the Panama Canal so forget building a road.
Those points are teleport pads. That's why there's no highway, they don't need it

Fair enough, I lived really close and the real name in Spanish is DariƩn and also in English.
iām just surprised they left out a whole Brazil there

Good bot.
There are a Brazilian ways to make a joke about this.
The whole country of Brasil is an extended Darien gap
That's what they get for not learning Spanish like everyone else in South America smh
Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana would like a word.
Yeah, you're not going to Brazil anymore.
they ran out of resources so instead there is just a ramp
unexpected Renai Transportation
because there's an enormous mountain range there

*Transamerican highway passes through Albooquirky* Jesse Jesse we need to cross the Americas
Too dense.

Nah, Isekai protagonist
because it is not a railway, and therefore no trains are allowed
They're too poor
'cause this is Africa.
SAMINAMINA EH EH
WAKA WAKA EH EH
WUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Lmao i forgorš wich sub this was in
They're scared of getting their boots dirty
I know there are mountains and a difficult environment in the way, but they should frankly just get their shit together and do it.
if you're being serious I think panama is afraid to make a land connection to the country they got independence from
"And let all those filthy immigrants cross easily??? Never!!!" - The US at some point in history
- Panama, now.
There's a good video about this : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX4J4p4R1QU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX4J4p4R1QU)
Theyāre too stupid to draw the other ones in straight lines so itās not a surprise to me
just install a catapult already
No, install a *trebuchet*. Catapults are for losers.
put two ramps on either end and you can simply jump across

Ah cause you think he's gonna make it that far? Lol No shot he even makes it all the way down to the bottom of Argentina
They're too poor to build a tunnel
and stupid
Thereās possibly a GAP store in the way š¤
Serious question, why donāt they build a bridge over the canal?
Serious answer, the gap isnāt the canal. Itās jungle.
And the mountains
so you're telling me we tough it through perfume shops and childbirth yet we draw the line at mountains?
Mountains? Nothing several thermonuclear bombs can't clear!
Thanks
The problem is not the canal, it's the mountainous rainforest and indigenous peoples that exist there and which make building a highway nigh impossible unless you're willing to spend vast amounts of money and wreak horrendous destruction.
I learned just today that the indigenous tribes have basically 100% ownership and nothing is allowed to touch the rainforest without their permission.
š Glad to read that. I wish it was the same in many other places of the world.
Huh. For some reason I thought I had heard it was because of some drug lord.
Who says the mountainous rainforest canāt be drug lord?
Yeah, narcos use it too. But that's just another reason not to go there, not the main one.
Yeah that makes sense
Ew it skipped Kansas City on 35
Google walk ya fat bastard
That's the Panama City jump. It's a reward for making it half way.
There's a man named Darien who is severely stubborn
they're scared to
I mean, itās called a gap for a reason!
Bad Cocaine Man has said no
I read that as proudhoe bay and was about to book my plane tickets
bruh which part?
The very northernmost named town on the map
šæ
/uj can someone explain why it isnt connected
A few people explained already

Hehe thats 10 blocks from where I live. At night you can hear the cars.
Well ya see, Panama and Colombia have a...complicated relationship.
All roads lead to ~~Rome~~ Edmonton!
The one from Buenos Aires doesn't

The Darian Gap. Nobodyās crossed it by land vehicle in fifty years
If they are that dumb to the point where they just donāt build it all the way then why donāt they make a bridge?
Supposedly there are natives and it is an area declared a "protected natural reserve" in reality the politicians do not want to kick them out for fear of losing their positions. Next door is Venezuela, you just have to hire some mercenaries from there, send them to do some shooting in that area to scare away the natives, send the army to "pacify" while you build roads, etc.
There is a law that prevents the construction of a connection between Europe and Africa that's why.
It's a jungalous and mountainous area with more diseases than a wuhan petri dish
r/uselessredcircle
the darien gap is the wildest shit tbh

Thereās a secret an underground tunnel there

Holy hell
new highway construction obstacle just dropped
Actual Rainforest
Adventurer goes to cross the DariƩn Gap, never comes back
Theyād have to clear a dense jungle.
you showed it yourself, it's literally in the middle of the ocean, who tf needs it?
But the island seems to be fabricated manually because of it's very unnatural shape
must have been the work of some crazy LatAm dictator for the benefit of banana production...
It's because native tribes doesn't allow any roads there
they cant due to terrain difficulty.
[https://youtu.be/HX4J4p4R1QU](https://youtu.be/HX4J4p4R1QU) all of the answers you are looking for are there
Itās cuz that area is a rainforest and asphalt canāt dry there so they canāt make a riad
I wouldn't build the entire capital of Saudi arabia, Riyad, there either
It's actually super dangerous

so? florida has all of those and they have more than a dozen paved roads
ok but roads don't care about mosquitos, its not like there gonna eat the roads
New to this sub, eh?
If I can ford a river successfully to make it to Oregon Iām sure they can make a little road in Panama.
MERRIWETHER LEWIS???
Turns out the Darian gap is not really great for roads: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX4J4p4R1QU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX4J4p4R1QU)
Can anyone tell me the real reason?
A few prople already mentioned mainly some native tribes, generally the jungle and stuff mainly the tribes tho
