Makes me laugh !!!!
They have been repairing the ring road for more than 2 years now and they still haven't started the actual tarmac phase. Oh and then there is the 8 years plus they still haven't repaired the Incinerator... I am guessing these issues would help tourism more than a bridge.
For many, the idea of travelling to a remote island is the reason they go there - make a bridge from the mainland and most would stay away.
