  Alexander this is another unfeasible plan.
  
  Of course when Townwall Street was first pushed through between town and sea front, they could have and should have built it as a cut and shut tunnel, certainly from the end of East Cliffe out to Snarsgate Street. To try and remediate this now would kill the docks and the town due to the disruption that would be caused by the long term (years probably) closure of Townwall Street.
  
  Similarly, cutting a new tunnel through a gravel spit that has at least 2 rivers running through it, even with modern tunnelling machinery is a significantly difficult task with tunnels prone to significant water ingress, instability of the ground you are tunnelling through leading to subsidence etc. this is why even if the funding was available no one has seriously proposed a tunnel as a solution.
