- Un lien entre Terre-Neuve et le Labrador permettrait de relier l'île de Terre-Neuve au continent. Le projet pourrait prendre la forme d'un tunnel (ferroviaire ou routier), d'un pont et/ou d'une chaussée. Il permettrait à la fois d'unir la province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador et d'augmenter l'accessibilité de l'île, actuellement dépendante du transport maritime et transport aérien. (fr)
- The Newfoundland–Labrador fixed link is any of various proposals for constructing a fixed link consisting of bridges, tunnels, and/or causeways across the Strait of Belle Isle, connecting the province of Newfoundland and Labrador's mainland Labrador region with the island of Newfoundland. This strait has a minimum width of 17.4 km (10.8 mi). Labrador and Newfoundland are currently connected by ferry service between Blanc-Sablon, Quebec (close to the Labrador border) and St. Barbe. However, the most important ferry connection between Newfoundland and mainland Canada is the Marine Atlantic service between Port-aux-Basques and North Sydney, Nova Scotia, a distance of approximately 165 km (103 mi). The idea is not new; it was one of Joey Smallwood's ideas in 1949. It was again put forward by mining engineer Tom Kierans during the early 1970s as a means to bring hydroelectricity from Churchill Falls to Newfoundland. About C$75 million was spent by the provincial government on constructing such a utility tunnel but the project was cancelled in 1975. The 12.9 km (8.0 mi) Confederation Bridge, which connects Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, is significantly shorter than the Newfoundland–Labrador link would be, and crosses the Abegweit Passage, a shallower and calmer body of water than the Strait of Belle Isle. In the lead-up to the October 2003 provincial election, Progressive Conservative leader Danny Williams promised to fund a feasibility study to placate link supporters. In 2016, Premier Dwight Ball launched a new pre-feasibility study to determine the costs of a tunnel link between the island and Labrador. In their 2019 election platform, the Liberal Party of Canada indicated support for a National Infrastructure Fund, including the Newfoundland-Labrador fixed transportation link, likely linking Yankee Point, Newfoundland with Point Amour on the (Labrador) mainland.
