Traci Keller+FollowItaly’s Mega Bridge: Is It Finally Happening?After what feels like centuries of rumors, Italy’s actually moving forward with that wild bridge to Sicily! The Ponte Stretto di Messina is set to be the world’s longest suspension bridge—if it survives Italian bureaucracy, earthquakes, and a whole lot of local drama. We’re talking 2.24 miles long, 6000 cars an hour, and enough steel to make your head spin. Completion date? 2032... maybe. Would you cross it? #Transportation #Italy #SicilyBridge00Share
Anne Clark+FollowItaly’s Wild Plan: World’s Longest Bridge!Italy just greenlit a $15.5 billion mega-bridge to connect the mainland to Sicily—finally! This thing’s been debated for decades (earthquakes, mafia, birds, you name it), but now it’s a go. When finished, it’ll be the world’s longest suspension bridge, slashing travel time from 100 minutes to just 10. Plus, it’s set to create 120,000 jobs a year and become a new symbol of Italian engineering. Would you drive across it? #Transportation #Italy #SicilyBridge10Share
