Could a $19 trillion tunnel link London to New York? Here’s the wild plan

The tunnel would allow for a 54-minute journey from London to New York

Tunnel

A 3,400-mile transatlantic tunnel connecting London and New York sounds like something out of science fiction, but this ambitious idea has resurfaced as a topic of discussion among futurists and engineers. The proposed tunnel, which would allow high-speed trains to traverse the Atlantic Ocean in under an hour, could revolutionize travel between the UK and the US, transforming a seven-hour flight into a quick 54-minute commute.

While the vision is enticing, the hurdles are quite monumental. The project’s estimated cost of $19 trillion (£15 trillion) dwarfs the budgets of most global infrastructure ventures, and the technology required to construct and operate the tunnel doesn’t even exist yet. Still, the concept represents a fascinating glimpse into the future of engineering and global connectivity – even if it’s unlikely to materialize for generations.
