What are the chances of a fixed link across the Cabot Strait?
The distances from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland:
Shortest possible - Bay St. Lawrence to Cape Ray via Victoria Island - 2 sections, 26 and 77 km each (plus 4 km on land)
Shortest straight line - Bay St. Lawrence to Cape Ray by-passing Victoria Island - 105 km
Shortest with good road access - Neils Harbour to Cape Ray - 118 km
Best road access - Point Aconi to near Grand Bay - 160 km
Best traffic potential - Sydney Mines to Channel-Port Aux Basques - 165 km
Shortest route to the Avalon - Scatarie Island to Point Crewe - 298 km (but through French waters)
