The £11.8bn bridge to connect Italy to Med’s largest island | World | News
Italy is preparing to fulfill an old Roman tradition after a green light is given a green light of a bridge that connects the motherland to a beautiful European island. The large 2.2 mile bridge will lie along the Bosphorus of Messina, which connects Sicily’s Sun Pentiles island with Italy, the main island of the Mediterranean.
The Messina Bridge, which will be prepared to become one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Europe, will be the longest hanging bridge in the world, which will be a record -breaking success that many thoughts will never come out of the ground. The negotiations of the Billions of Billion-Euro Bridge since the Romans’ overpass proposition are on the pipeline. It was very close to the fruit in 2009, but it was stopped in 2013, which was created to control the construction of the company.
Now it seems to start in the Bosphorus of the Messina Bridge – and it can be as early this year.
He explained an anonymous resource Monday Reuters The Italian government is expected to continue the project on August 7. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni left aside 11.8 billion (€ 13.5 billion) for the project.
The construction will be managed by the Italian company Webuild and will be audited by Messina Strait Company.
When completed, the Bosphorus of the Messina Bridge will be the longest hanging bridge in the world with a length of 3,600 meters and will be designed to withstand a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and 186 miles wind.
The bridge, which was allocated to be completed in 2032, will host 200 trends per day and 6,000 vehicles per hour.
Messina Strait Company, “Following the finalization of additional agreements with all various contractors, the updated value of the investment, 2025 Budget Law and Stretto Di Messina Railway Company signed in 2023 was confirmed for € 13.5 billion in the scope of the capital increase,” he said.
When completed, the Messina bridge will interrupt the journey between Sicily and the rest of Italy and rely on ferry services that can be broken with bad weather.
Touriss and the natives will have to enter between the two sides until the high -anticipated bridge is built. Aircraft and ferry is the most common way to cross the Bosphorus of Messina.
The regular ferry route takes about half an hour to switch between Messina in Sicily and Reggio Calabria in Calabria.
