A bridge is proposed to be built between Britain and France

Beijing. January 19. Silkroadnews - Britain’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson spoke in favor of building a bridge between the United Kingdom and France, as one railway tunnel under the English Channel is not able to meet both countries demand for the movement of people and goods across the border, the Kazakh Telegraph Agency (KazTAG) reported with reference to TASS agency.
The Foreign Secretary said it's ‘ridiculous’ that two of the world’s biggest economies were linked by a single rail tunnel. Technologies are constantly developing, and there are much longer bridges in other places, including a 34 miles long bridge in Japan, the agency wrote quoting B. Johnson saying during a meeting with his counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian at Anglo-French summit in Sandhurst, England, on Thursday.
It was not clear, though, what bridge the Foreign Secretary referred to, as Japan’s the Great Seto Bridge, 13.1-km long (8.1 miles), providing access between Honshu and Shikoku islands, is a series of bridges. Only the joint system of bridges and tunnels of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge in China has the length of 34 miles or 55 km that B. Johnson said about.
The width of the English Channel separating England from France, at its narrowest part, called the Pas de Calais, is 33 km. The railway tunnel, 50-km long, Johnson mentioned, was built under the strait in 1994 between Folkestone, England, and Sangatte (near Calais), France.
