Largest Bridge in the World: Italian Mainland to Sicily (construction, earthquakes)

[Dexterguy]

I have been hearing about this project for YEARS but is it ever going to really happen?? I heard that in 2006 the project was said to be closed because of budget problems, but just last year it was said to be re-opened and construction has started.

Does anyone know anything about this project? When it will be completed? Or if it is actually going to happen?

Hello!
The project is catching now.
There are a lot of political positions... YES or NO...

I live in Italy but I don't know if this bridge will be built or when...sorry.
There are a confusion on this project.

i hope it will never happen, its a big white elefant, a way for the italian goverment to make us believe that they care for Sicilians and Calabrese, in reality and this is my personal view what will happen that
1 it will take huge sums of money
2 it will be a way to make large industries work, in the south we dont have them so it will be from the north
3 ITS A SISMIC AREA. MOUNT ETNA AND EARTHQUAKES !!
4 PEOPLE BELIEVE IT WILL BE FREE CROSSING
5 WHO DO THE COMPANIES THAT WILL CARRY OUT THE WORK BELONG TO???

IF THEY CARE SO MUCH LET THEM GIVE US THE MONEY AND WE CAN PARTY , YOU CAN ALL BE INVITED !!!

If you like bridges, here is a world class bridge that is not so far from home.. The world's largest multiple arch dam is at the south end of Grand Lake near Disney, Oklahoma
