The Channel Crossing Bridge That Never Was
When the Channel Tunnel opened in 1994, the undersea rail link saw Britain grow closer to the European mainland than ever before.
However, had things gone a little differently, history might have taken a very different turn. Among the competing proposals for a fixed Channel crossing was a massive bridge.
The Euro Route proposed that motorists simply drive across the Channel, perhaps stopping for duty-free shopping in the middle of the sea along the way.
The concept of a permanent tunnel or transit link between Britain and France dates back a long way.
Author's summary: A proposed bridge to cross the Channel never came to fruition.
