There are several difficulties in having I a road tunnel of this length, the
chief of which is the enormous cost of ventilating it. Total cost is estimated
at between 450 and 560 m illio n dollars, to be shared by Britain and
France with possibly some other European country.
No dates have so far been mentioned definitely but it might be completed
