TheTeapot Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Maybe it could be both a bridge AND a tunnel, like the one between Sweden and Denmark. What is it with Boris and bridges anyway? Seems a pretty odd fetish to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hampsterkahn Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Discussion re Boris and tunnels and/or bridges seems to quickly focus on “ How”, without spending time on the very important “Why?” question. Some years ago, I recall,the idea was compared to the channel tunnel, It was said that it would cost more than twice to build - but could only ever hope to generate up to a quarter of the income.The conclusion was obvious.
