Challenges Behind New Zealand's Lack of Tunnel Between Main Islands

Credited from: SCMP

  • Severe weather has recently disrupted ferry services across the Cook Strait, impacting thousands of travelers.
  • Unlike other countries, New Zealand has not seriously considered an undersea tunnel for its 22-30km crossing.
  • The estimated cost for such a tunnel could exceed NZ$50 billion, consuming a significant portion of the country’s infrastructure budget.
  • Geological factors, including active fault lines under the strait, also complicate tunnel construction.
  • Despite delays, many travelers still prefer the scenic ferry ride over a potential tunnel option.
