Lol. Misguided mega projects are a key component of the NL economy.
The FL is something that's brought up every few years as a replacement for for the NS ferry. Nothing comes of it, except maybe a study.
It's a non-starter for several reasons. A few that come to mind:
- Quebec would need to link up the two ends of Route 138 to make using the FL over the Ferry practicable
- It would cause economic issues to anywhere west of Deer Lake (less traffic using the ferry)
- Route 430/Northern Pen Highway/Viking Trail would require substantial upgrading to cope with the increased traffic. A not small section of the which runs through a National Park.
- Removing the NS-NL Ferry will require a constitutional amendment
