Professor Alessandro Palermo on the possibility of a Cook Strait bridge

A University of Canterbury Professor of Engineering says while possible to construct a bridge or tunnel across Cook Strait, it would be incredibly challenging.  
The British government says it is seriously studying the feasibility of a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland – an idea which has been met with staunch criticism.
Professor Alessandro Palermo told Simon and Phil there has been theoretical discussions about constructing a similar structure across Cook Strait in the past.
He says while not impossible, the cost and technical challenges would be immense.
