The Channel Crossing Bridge That Never Was
When the Channel Tunnel opened in 1994, the undersea rail link brought Britain closer to the European mainland than ever before.
However, had things gone differently, history might have taken a different turn, with a massive bridge being a competing proposal for a fixed Channel crossing.
The Euro Route proposed that motorists drive across the Channel, potentially stopping for duty-free shopping in the middle of the sea.
Forget the double handling involved in putting cars on trains and doing everything by rail.
The concept of a permanent tunnel or transit link between Britain and France dates back a long way.
