I'm not so sure we'll see this one nixed quite yet, lets wait until the dust settles.

That and if a major earthquake happens the occupants of the tunnel will all be killed. How can you take a political party seriously with a policy like that? There is no alternative to replacing the tunnel, either with a bridge or a bigger, deeper tunnel. Since the work has been done to decide the best option, just build the bloody thing.
