A bridge is not necessarly a realistic feature in some conditions. It is Something that can be built only after deciding a few things : How rich is the country ? Are there risks of earthquakes ? Is it necessary depending on traffic ? Do we need a tunnel, a bridge, or only ferry links ? What is the relief ? etc.
Moreover, TA027 is a very strategic place between two continents And two oceans, it has to be very well managed and realisticly developped on very long term. I guess it will be a specific territory, and we will manage to create a very coherent history, geography, culture, economy, religion etc. Then maybe we will feel the need of a bridge.
Also, with the will of creating a realistic and coherent world, we should create lacks of infrastructures or organisation in certain places, as they exist everywhere in the real world. This aspect is even more interesting in my opinion.
There are many places in the real world where it looks like a bridge/tunnel would be a great idea, but actually isn’t. Gibraltar to Morocco is one example where the issues of uncontrollable migration into the EU would prevent it ever happening. Messina to Sicily is prevented by earthquakes and corruption.
I’ve built two rail tunnels from Karolia to neighboring countries, but only because rail freight is the main means of transport and the distances are relatively short and all the countries are in a trade bloc.
