idk, but there are plenty of ferries and a cross-bay highway which likely carries buses
the highway is mostly underground--there's a viewing platform where the causeway goes under, and a little inaccessible island that functions as an air exchangepic.twitter.com/iqQhBzQpLt
It's about 5.6 miles of tunnel there--at the narrowest point, the bay is 4.3 miles across
I was pondering why it didn't exist, but hadn't considered the length. Recently saw a thing on Norway largely not having bridges because it's just really deep, sim. why Golden Gate was an achievement at the time. My answer was that urbanization didn't occur on the other side.
The depth is also an issue esp for trains bc railways can't handle steep grades like roads can--so what's possible for a road tunnel may be impractical for a rail tunnel. Lack of urbanization is one factor, but then again, urbanization can be spurred by having a link...
For probably political and historical reasons Shogun 2 wasn't sufficient to teach me, there were no big cities comparable in Chiba. Tokyo was the big city in the area, and with no particular reason to connect east, it focused on expanding west/north into easy plains instead.
