The States of Jersey is considering the feasibility of building a tunnel which would link the island with France. States Assistant Minister for Planning and Environment, Deputy Rob Duhamel, has been discussing support for such a project with French politicians. According to Mr Duhamel, a road and rail link could be provided to Normandy using a concrete tube sunk in the seabed and then covered over. Jersey lies 14 miles (22km) off the coast of France. Mr Duhamel said: "We have had talks to float the idea and to see if there is a move to derive local benefit. "Extra talks will be held in September."
