Spain’s Plans for a Tunnel to Africa

Spain and Morocco are considering building a 9.8 billion dollar tunnel across the Strait of Gibraltar, providing the first physical link between Europe and Africa. Due to the strait of Gibraltar’s geography, proposals for both bridges and tunnels across it have been seriously considered. However, nowadays, a tunnel is being focused on. If constructed, a tunnel would transform the local economies and boost intercontinental trade. However, it would also come with several issues. Despite this, the concept is being seriously pursued today and could soon be constructed. If you enjoyed this video, please consider liking and subscribing for more videos very similar to this one!
