The Eurotunnel between Dover and calais was originally planned in the early 19th century. Works took place in the 19th century but kept on being put on hold by the British. The original plan was for horses to be able to go through the tunnel. In the Mid-20th century, the UK and French government planned for a drive through tunnel but instead, a train carrier was put in place. Both governments are still discussing having a drive through tunnel, and it has always been possible. But way didn't they make in into a drive through tunnel from the beginning?
