If it's a HSR rail tunnel, as has been proposed for years, sure.
Also, whatever happens, there would be a gauntlet of NIMBYism. The North Shore of LI, and the Connecticut Coast are both loaded with very rich households, on very prime waterfront land. Darien, CT recently had to pay $85 million to buy one freaking waterfront estate, to build a park.

Getting back to the original question of this thread, do you think frequent passenger ferry service between Westchester County and Long Island and Fairfield County and Long Island would be viable?
I don’t doubt there are a lot of NIMBYs along Fairfield’s Gold Coast but the bridge would be built in a largely industrial area in Bridgeport that is working class. It has very different demographics than Greenwich or Westport.
