Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
The tunnelled option may not be the one chosen. An alternative is to build a runway on a slope over the existing M25; I do not know if that is being pursued. There is, I believe in Atlanta, an example of something like that over an interstate highway, so it is not as wholly unprecedented or ridiculous as it sounds, if the gradient is very low. However, it is more likely that the M25 is going to be moved.
