Europe and Africa will be connected with a tunnel
The Europe and Africa become more and more approached to each other. The case is not only in global warming of the climate. Soon it will be possible to travel by train from Spain to Morocco. The governments of two countries are seriously thinking about the construction of a tunnel near the strait of Gibraltar. Â
The project of the construction is already entrusted for preparing to the Swiss engineering company. The tunnel in length about 40 kilometers will pass on the depth of 388 meters from a surface of the sea. Â
The engineering decision of the Gibraltar tunnel will remind the well-known tunnel under the passage La Manche, constructed in 1994 and connecting England with the continental Europe. The new construction will be passed from the Moroccan cape Malataba to the Spanish Punto Paloma that is near Cadiz.Â
The construction is supposed to be finished by 2025. Considering the fact that the continents are divided already for 5 million years, the term of construction is quite insignificant.Â
