Can we connect the snowlands of Sharp to the rest of Sharp by road?

The snowlands of the Sharp continent are lovely, but the road network (which is good in most of Sharp) is unfortunately not worth driving there because it doesn't connect to the rest of the continent. Is it possible to place a bridge across the 'empty' water sims to connect the road in Mizithra, via a bridge through Lappi, Danbo, and Tenshi, to Svecia please?
Note that unfortunately, in Svecia, the connection will be challenging, as Tenshi comes in on the wrong side of the mountain! Ideally you'd want to move Bleu north of Danbo to make this connection very easily (so the connection would go Lappi, Danbo, Bleu (if it's north of Danbo)

I second Mirror's proposal for Bleu, Tenshi, Danbo, Lappi. That would be a good way to connect those sims - Especially since Bleu has become an empty water sim. Shifting it up and constructing the road makes sense.

Hey everyone,
I recognize that Lindens and Moles have their hands full with a variety of bigger projects, and rather than let this go to the bottom of the pile simply because it's not a necessity, propose a third alternative:
I'm part of a group of long term resident artists interested in this area who would like to volunteer to build the bridge and waystation, much in the same way residents were allowed to donate the build for Linden combat sim Concord in 2008. If the Lindens are amenable to this, we will draft some architecture for the area.
Below is a proposed map of the area development, seconding Iskrin's very sensible suggestion that Bleu, now bare of its copy of the ANWR primoleum rig and thus open for a new practical use, be moved North of Danbo (Grid position 1175, 992) to allow the most logical path for the connection.
This is also an excellent time to fix some of the long-term terraforming artifacts in Lappi, and Lappi's biggest island would be an excellent place to build the aforementioned waystation, which I suggest most of all to make the transition between the snow road textures and the mountain set less jarring, as there can be an elegant termination of the two.
Cheers, and all the best,

In doing that, it would be great to also put in some water from North Gaeta to Corsica and have every single one of all the continents connected. that way you can fly or sail all the way.

Thank you Iskrin.
I was able to look at the area briefly and it does seem possible to do what you are proposing. We need to look deeper into the details and then can make the call on whether this something we want to move forward with.

Thanks so much Abnor :-). I realise not everything fits within the many plans you all work hard on to bring to fruition, so I appreciate very much that you are reviewing this suggestion to see whether it's feasible and worthwhile. Sharp is such a wonderful continent!
