I am still opposed to tunnels, and I am still not producing
any codes to implement how I would like it to be done:

  http://www.freeciv.org/~hop/ideas/wishlist

section 3.2.2.  It is a more detailed proposal to implement
your suggestion.

I like the idea of civilizations becoming gradually more apt at
building bridges: perhaps the maximum length of bridges could increase
with literacy? And the chunnel wonder would give unlimited length
(still with the same expense, of course).

Incidentally, the building of large bridges and land reclaims from open sea
are recent inventions (as explained in the wishlist above).
