Official feasibility study to assess possibility of building bridge or tunnel between NI and Scotland
Boris Johnson has described a bridge between Northern Ireland and Scotland as a "very interesting idea"
They will look at the feasibility of such a link, an outline cost and timescale and the associated works needed. In a submission to Sir Peter's review, a rail industry body, the High Speed Rail Group, proposed tunnelling under the Irish Sea between Stranraer and Larne. He said Ms Mallon should "stop politicising the matter, lift her eyes, look to the future and ensure there is better infrastructure for the next generations."
An upgrade of the A75 would mean improving the main road between the port of Cairnryan and the M6 motorway in Scotland
