      It's the sea, so salty. I once risked it where there was standing water over it and had terrible corrosion problems ever after!

    So did the car that is stopped (1:41 on the video) ever get to the other side. Since the road is flooded everyone seems to be sticking to the middle. And that guy who stopped seems to be waiting for the road to clear but cars keep coming his way. He then has to move in order to let the truck pass. He goes on but again stops because of on coming cars.

    Brings back funny memories, when me and the wife visiting holly island in Northumberland, watching out for tide times before crossing , road was half submerged on wone side due to very strong winds not to bad our side , but two blokes in Morgan car with hood down, thank god the goggles done there job , hilarious best laugh in long time, me got back to Scotland a week later , rust clinging to under new car and more sand than a child's sand pitt after steam clean falling down. 😉🤣🤣👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Happy days.

    The island has been inhabited for 1500 years but no one has built a bridge. It can't be that hard, come on.

    • @fp4man542
      @fp4man542 2 года назад +1

      It would be pretty expensive to build such a long bridge, and the volume of traffic probably isn't all that high.
