That's what they do. Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel---both a LOT longer and a LOT deeper, and the Hudson River was already there, all built with 1930's technology. Somebody on another thread commented that they can't build a tunnel wide enough for 2 cars to pass, much less golf carts. Seriously??? I think either way, tunnel or bridge, they will make it work
