Despite being separated by a relatively short stretch of water, Great Britain and Ireland still have no bridge connecting them—and the reasons go far beyond cost. Engineers face brutal weather, deep waters, powerful currents, and underwater terrain that make the project incredibly difficult.

Even with modern technology, building a fixed connection remains one of Europe’s biggest engineering challenges. Watch now to uncover why there’s still no bridge between Great Britain and Ireland.
