Shetland backs plan to connect islands with £1.5bn undersea tunnels

Shetland Islands Council approved a proposal to construct undersea tunnels connecting the islands at a cost of approximately 1.5 billion pounds. The project, if funded and approved by relevant authorities, could be completed within eight years. The tunnels would replace ferry services for certain inter-island routes. The scheme requires additional planning approvals and funding commitments before construction can begin.
