- lormayna 1y agoSeabed is deep and problematic to build a tunnel.
- matttsssss 1y agoIt might be too short for a tunnel, the dive on the island side would be too steep for trains. But that’s just an engineering challenge so relocating and reclaiming some land so it fits would be a better idea.

- dzhiurgis 1y agoLoved that one. We need something like this for NZ's south and north islands and so far ships are by far the best option. Maybe some semi submersible, low-safety tube for cargo could make sense tho, but I'm not holding my breath. New government cancelled $1.45b ferry replacement project for cost blowout and everyone expects it to cost even more.
