SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Chinese engineers will submit a blueprint to the government by April for the world's longest undersea tunnel and, once approved, work could start as early as 2015 or 2016, the China Daily newspaper reported on Friday.
The tunnel, spanning 123 km (76.4 miles), will be more than twice as long as the current record-holder linking Japan's Honshu and Hokkaido islands. It will be completed by 2026, it quoted an engineer working on the project as saying.
