Connecting each sides mainland, not small islands

(Although stopovers or steps at islands are fine)

You'll be able to travel above water not flying between the countries

  • Update 2025-03-23 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Inclusion of Pre-Existing Infrastructure:

    • Connections using pre-existing links (such as bridges connecting islands to a mainland) are allowed when establishing a connection between the two mainlands.

    • The entire project does not need to be new, as long as a continuous link between the mainlands is achieved.

I think a tunnel is more likely.

Why close now in 2023? Why not leave open to 2030?

Does Anglesey count as a small island or is that large? Or is that ok as Anglesey already connected by bridge to mainland?

I am betting no thinking a tunnel is more likely and even that probably prohibitively expensive. More traffic/revenue for Eurotunnel, which is shorter and cheaper and faster to build but that went bust. Underground makeup is better for tunnelling but I doubt that helps much.

@ChristopherRandles yes, if you can get between mainlands via already legitimately connected (by market rules) smaller islands, that's okay. No requirement that the entire thing all be new.
