Tunnel to link Africa and Europe

5/11/2007 9:31:19 AM

Construction of a 40 km tunnel between Europe and Africa is expected to start next year. The final finance agreement on GBP 8 billion project is still outstanding.   The Spanish and Moroccan governments now agree that the twin-tracked rail tunnel – similar in design to the Channel tunnel between the UK and France – should go ahead, the only question is who will pay which part of the bill (the EU, Spain and Morocco).   Source:  International Transport Journal
