Boris..."hmm, how can i trigger everyone like i did with my comment about giving more money to the NHS than that £350m figure? Oh, i know.. lets build a bridge between us and the European mainland. Yes, a bridge. Building bridges. Build a bridge with our European chums. I like that." | |

With all the weather systems it'll be shut more times than the old seven bridge, the engineering involved in protecting it from that same weather would be enormous as well, plus as you say the cost which would be astronomical. How many miles apart are the nearest points, I wonder? I haven't read the article so its probably I there. | |

It'd probably have to be a much bigger version of the Oresund Bridge. Physically possible but probably not worth the hassle of building given the alternatives readily available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98resund_Bridge | |

Bloody hell, that'll take about 20 yrs to build wouldn't it? | |

Impressive looking bridge that, but a 22 mile crossing is a bigger than a massive project, can't see it being achievable to be honest, the cost would probably be enough to clear all the debt in the World | |

Ive seen that. Its a fcking amazing piece of engineering. For all the reasons that this bridge is a bad idea, its still infinitely better than spunking all that cash on HS2. | |

I was forgetting about shipping fuking hell, a complete non-starter in it, Boris's gob opens 10 minutes before his brain kicks into action, buffoonery at its very best and he's one of the biggest in more ways than one. | |

$8.5 million for 100 miles of bridge bit cheap init,you wouldn't get fook all in this country for that money! | | | |

I doubt it gets the weather that the channel gets either plus its lower to the water surface which is mostly over rice fields, it won't happen anyway, as someone says in the Guardian article we'll be better off improving our roads enabling traffic to get to the ferry ports quicker and easier than wasting an obscene amount of cash on a bridge that will be closed due to high winds more often than not. | |

This bridge is up there with Trumps declaration that says We're gonna build a wall right across the Mexican border to keep the criminals/undesirables and immigrants out, you'll notice that he's blonde to, deliciously bonkers the pair of them, nurse , nurse | |

Has he? Thought Boris was generally pro-Europe until he realised the career opportunities of throwing in his lot with the Brexiteers. | |

You're forgetting exactly how much scope there is in HS2 to syphon public money into private hands. Carillion were heavily involved weren't they? We have to get out of the mindset that the UK government give a f*ck about anything else. They're criminals who operate for the benefit of criminals. | |
