Talk:Strait of Gibraltar crossing

message: I see there was some confusion between the bridge and the tunnel, although the bridge is a conceptual structure and likely to remain so, it generates a lot of interest due to the Discovery TV programme about it and many people seem to think it exists !  I get endless inquiries for pictures of it on my Gibraltar website.
Also the title should be 'Gibraltar Bridge' and not 'Gibraltar bridge'
I've included a link to the tunnel project, and fixed the Gibraltar disambiguation page.

replies: text: At least it is highly unlikely to use a non-electric train on such a connection, especially in conjunction with a tunnel.  For unplausible statements a source is really a good idea.--Bk1 168 (talk) 22:40, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Gibraltar tunnel nowadays is just an idea. You cannot choose the train if you haven't start the project.--HrAd (talk) 17:13, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  rolling stocks 

message: Given the long width as well as depth, the only solution would be a "brunnel" or "tunbridge", aka, an underwater bridge. It doen't have the depth excavating requirements of a tunnel, nor the complex pier structure of a long and tall bridge.
The only possible danger of underwater bridges comes from sinking boats, anchors or runaway submarines. This kind of structure would have do be permanently under surveillance by coastal boats, tow boats as well as submarines, adding to the cost of maintenance.
Apart from this possible danger, the construction of such sructure is far less expensive. An underwater bridge dosn't need the pier strengh of a bridge. Because it has air inside, it floats under water. It is stuck by cables only. It is also the best solution in areas prone to earthquakes as it's cushioned by the surrounding water.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.181.159.88 (talk) 20:06, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

message: The tunnel project appears to be still going as of 2013. Is it still alive? Shcha (talk) 00:24, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: This project will be alive forever.  The Spanish government created a government-funded Corporation 37 years ago back in 1981 whose job is to "study" and to "promote" this project.  Please understand that just because the first and second generation of government "workers" on this project have already retired on full pensions, it does not mean that the new generation of "workers" doesn't need to also have a full career and subsequent retirement to look forward to. So the current generation of "workers" just gave a press conference this week,http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2018/05/29/project-to-build-e8-billion-underwater-tunnel-connecting-spain-and-africa-is-back-on/ as they will, repeatedly, until their own retirement.
