Why can the Faroe Islands build faster than Britain?
The Faroe Islands has built miles of undersea tunnels for less than a third of what Britain has spent on a consultation for one, says Joe Cawley Every day, tens of thousands of vehicles crawl across the Dartford Crossing, one of the UK’s key economic arteries. Relief is on the way. Work has begun on the Lower Thames Crossing, a new tunnel several miles east of Dartford designed to ease pressure on the existing route.
