Plans are being worked on for a tunnel connecting the town of Rho with Milan's Linate airport. The proposals suggest an 11.5km tunnel capable of handling up to 110,00 cars/day. The current link to the airport is prone to congestion and the new tunnel would ease the traffic issues and reduce journey times on the route. Should the plan go ahead the work would take around six years to complete. However work should start in 2011 for the link to be ready for the Milan Expo 2015 according to engineering firm 3481 Condotte, which has worked on the proposals.

That’s $160 billion worth of goods trucked each year between Detroit in the US state of Michigan and the Canadian city of Windsor in the province of Ontario - the Windsor-Detroit Corridor. There are several types of crossings, but the vast majority of commercial traffic must use the 2.3km Ambassador Bridge (see box). A new bridge was initially prop
