The Bering Land Bridge--Open For PERMANENT Business

This is the Bering Sea today...

...and this was the Bering Sea as recently as 25,000 years ago.

Truth of the matter is, the Bering had been shifting back and forth from land to sea for 100 million years.

Here is Beringia in an alternate Earth:

In this alternate scenario, the Bering Land Bridge had been open for permanent business for 250 million years from the moment North America collided with Asia. This is set in the same alternate Earth in which the Atlantic is wider than ours by 1350 miles, turning the Russian urban locality of Egvekinot (66.3205 degrees North and 179.1184 degrees West) into the next-door neighbor of Teller, Alaska.

Fast-forward to the 21st century AD, and the question is: Would the permanent presence of this bridge affect the climate of the North Pacific and Arctic coastlines?
