What is the status of the LI Sound Link Bridge/Tunnel? Is there any progress on a link? Is there a lot of support?

it'll never happen. rich folk don't want their waterfront property disturbed by traffic, noise, fumes, change in scenery, etc.

They have too many hurdles to leap to get it done. IMHO.

They would need to get a Donald Trump type who is willing to bank roll it for a part of the profit because if the public has to pay it will never fly. The taxes are too high already. As the above poster said the waterfront folk will never allow it to fly. There will always be an environmental study that doesn't pass muster. We need to start to focus on a "Jetsons" like flying machine.LOL

I guess when you are sitting in the dark, without power, no tv, no radio, no internet lots of thoughts go through your head. Then the power comes back on and there is a psychological need to have a post vomit.

I hear that the bridges across the Sound project is back on track, but a bit scaled down. Instead of a bridge they'll be installing zip lines. Bring your own harness and helmet.
