100% possible to build, but doubt it that they'll invest any money in it.

Would be nice though, even for us southern folks.

Stenaline it is in the mean time :)

Mr Dunlop estimated a cost of about £120bn for the English Channel bridge.
Prof Alan Dunlop sees huge benefits in such a project
He thinks the "Celtic connection" would cost about £15bn and would prove less difficult to achieve.
He said: "The challenges of it are much less than Boris' idea of building across the English Channel.
"We don't have the weather problems and it is a not as significant or as large a shipping lane.

Not sure I’d agree that the weather is more benign that the channel?

Totally agree but just think here of the force I feel when a truck passes me and then imagining the force of a gale on that bridge :-) It could be a rocky crossing.

I would say that it's the tidal surges in the English Channel that would cause the engineering headache. The channel between Antrim and Scotland would be more affected by wind.
It seems to me that these bridge building stories are a distraction away from a real story that some political group want buried.
