Nah, one of the big stink boats would still go through there at 25 knots and flood the tunnel

Can't see a cruise ship making it through there.

Looking at those two concrete structures straddling the channel I thought of Scylla and Charybdis (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planctae). Justice at last for the stinkboats!

Not a lot of cruise ships get up past the spit bridge in Sydney's middle Harbour.

Ahh. I was thinking Southport Spit.

That example is shallow and narrow channel. Would have strong tidal flows if at the Spit.
