The Sapphire Jubilee Bridge-Tunnel is a 233.73-kilometer combined bridge and tunnel connection under construction between Buenaventura in South Lyrica and Estefania in the Islas de la Libertad, Nouvelle Alexandrie. Approved by the Federal Assembly in 1748 AN with a budget of NAX€26.8 billion, the project officially began construction on 1.I.1750 AN as the flagship infrastructure initiative of the nation's Sapphire Jubilee, marking 65 years since the federation's founding. The connection consists of 142.73 kilometers of bridge sections and 91 kilometers of tunnels, including a 67-kilometer main tunnel passing beneath the international shipping lane, making it one of the longest underwater tunnels on Micras.
