On Wednesday, Italy officially approved a groundbreaking project worth €13.5 billion ($15.6 billion) to build the world’s longest suspension bridge, connecting Sicily to the mainland. This monumental decision comes after years of planning and extensive discussions. Transport and Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini announced that a ministerial committee has granted the final green light for this state-funded bridge, which will span the picturesque Strait of Messina. This ambitious infrastructure project is set to transform travel and connectivity in the region, marking a significant milestone in Italy’s engineering achievements.
