Boris Johnson revives Scotland-Ireland bridge dream under building plan
Boris Johnson’s dream of a bridge linking Scotland and Northern Ireland is among the projects being considered as part of a drive for the UK to “build, build, build” its way out of the coronavirus economic downturn.
In a speech today, the Prime Minister will set out plans for a “New Deal” including billions of pounds worth of infrastructure spending to boost the economy as it limps out of lockdown.
The UK Government will conduct a review into cross-border transport links that could help stimulate growth – with Downing Street highlighting the proposed 20-mile bridge suggested by Mr Johnson during the Tory leadership campaign.
