Old Channel Tunnel Plan Nearer Reality
London reports the 162 year old Dover Strait dream of a fixed link closer to reality as Britain and France back plans for a rail tunnel under the English Channel. The project envisions a two tube tunnel, 33 miles long, from Calais to Folkestone, with capacity for up to 4,200 passengers and 3,600 vehicles per hour, and possible five to six year construction at about 448 million dollars. The governments will decide on finance and operation, with private capital likely involved.
