Europe's INSANE Plan To Build A Megabridge To Africa

The idea to build a bridge from Europe to Africa across the strait of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean sea, was dreamed of since the middle of the 19th century, but all hopes proved futile due to the complexity of its construction. But recently, plans for this megaproject were renewed. In February 2023, after a high-level bilateral meeting between Spain and Morocco, both governments resolved to relaunch the project for an undersea railway tunnel. In today’s video, we will explore the latest details about the bridge that will connect Africa and Europe.
