Hermit Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Coinciding with the major road works outside St Mary’s Hospital, this has led to huge delays on the Cowes- Newport road. The proponents of a bridge/tunnel across the Medina have resurfaced, but with about as much chance of success as those advocating a fixed link to the mainland (ie nil).

adicat Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Perhaps get the money back from shipyard, build the bridge, cheaper in long run. Have a passenger ferry. Edited December 6, 2020 by adicat Link to post Share on other sites
