>>4654330>>4654355There's no way they'd build a bridge across the cook strait. The water currents are too strong and the weather is usually very stormy so there'd be a risk of part of the bridge collapsing. It would probably be covered in water all the time due to the frequent storms inside the strait, which could cause accidents. And it would cost a massive amount to build too.
We just have ferries that go back and forth between each island, which works pretty well. They can carry your car across for you too, but that costs a hundred dollars or so I think.
