Bridge or Tunnel Plans Stir Channel Study Group
The Channel may finally be bridged or tunneled as four proposals reach a study group. Three tunnels would run 41 to 53 feet wide costing 200 to 268 million dollars, while an American English French team proposes a 21 mile bridge at 110 feet wide. The plan envisions rail auto and bike traffic with piers floated into place, using 800000 tons of steel and 5000 workers over five years at about 560 million dollars.
