dc.description.abstract | The current hype revolving around the development of a permanent Malta-Gozo link has touched briefly upon environmental concerns, with the tunnel option being touted by many as having a significantly lower environmental impact than the bridge since the former option does not impinge directly on the seabed. While this argument is correct to a large extent other environmental considerations must be taken into account when assessing the environmental footprint of a tunnel link. For instance, excavating the tunnel will probably generate over 500,000 cubic metres of construction and demolition (C and D) waste, assuming an 11km-long tunnel 10m wide and five metres high. | en_GB |
