The problem with this is that the British don't need aircraft or ships to attack it, they have long range guns that can hit France from Britain, and the causeway is just a big target, so they can use those, and since it is the sort of project likely to take a decade in peacetime, they have plenty of time to build more. It's going to be cheaper for the British to shell the causeway with railway guns than the Germans to build it, so the equation is in British favorI like the idea of the construction of the causeway being done as a way to force the British to attack on Germanys terms and opening up the way for it being a killing ground fortified with costal anti air, Wolfpacks ambushing ships and periodically laying costal mines. Instead of the Battle of britan by building up airfields in the area the British are forced to come to the germans either attacking the causeway directly or the german anti air defenses and air fields in France
This is effectively reversing the otl British advantage of the Battle of briten where lost British fighters could parachute down on friendly tarritory while german pilot's got captured resulting in a lose of experianed piolets while the british retained thiers. The germans never need to complete the causeway and just use it as a obvios killbox that despite knowing that the british cant avoid falling in the trap becuse it requires contesting and periodicly attacking it to hamper construction or destroy sections becuse if they chose not to play the germans game the causeway could eventually serve as a overland invasion rought
In the ideal scenario the germans approve the project as a unavoidable british killbox that requires contesting in order to force the british airforce to make attack runs past anti air and a intact luffwaffa and thier navy needing to make these same runs past axis Wolfpacks and naval mines along with german close air support with naval bombers since they are close enough for the airforce to be a factor in naval combat. For the germans this is a win win in the sense that they either get thier invasion rought if uncontested or the British bloody thier nose on a unavoidable trap.
Well that's a problem at least, there are a lot more problems, but that's the one I'm going to answer
The whole force Britain to attack thing is better done by say V weapons, or those long range smoothbore railway guns Germany tested late in the war and attacking London directly
