Floating underwater tunnel proposed as alternative Irish Sea link

Floating underwater tunnel proposed as alternative Irish Sea link A floating underwater tunnel linking Scotland and Northern Ireland has been put forward as an alternative to prime minister Boris Johnson s bridge proposal. The tunnel would run from Portpatrick in Scotland to near Larne in Northern Ireland, 50m below the surface of the sea. A team from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh has been working on the concept, which involves the creation of a submerged floating tube bridge (SFTB). This would be anchored to the sea bed and tethered to pontoons on the surface. Cars could either drive through the tube or use a shuttle train, cutting the current two-and-a-half-hour ferry journey to 40 minutes.
