Boris Johnson Serious About £20 Billion Bridge Between Scotland, Northern Ireland

Geoff Pugh - WPA Pool/Getty Images UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is pushing ahead with plans for a bridge between Northern Ireland and Scotland.

The bridge would reportedly be constructed across the largest munitions dump in the world.

One retired offshore engineer in 2018 described the project as being "as feasible as building a bridge to the moon" adding that "no sane contractor or responsible government" would attempt it.

Sources inside Downing Street confirmed to Business Insider that Johnson remained personally committed to the project, despite doubts about its viability.
