Mr D’Avignon remains undeterred by this setback, saying voters often veto big projects before they ultimately approve them. He is encouraged by the growing interest that individual businesspeople are showing in the corridor, and by the prospects for FDI it generates.

Thanks to the US Global Entry programme, there is expedited clearance for pre-approved low-risk travellers into the US.
