Italy Revives Ambitious Bridge Project Linking Sicily to Mainland
Government pushes ahead with long-debated infrastructure plan
Italy has revived plans to construct a massive bridge connecting Sicily to the mainland, a project that has been discussed for decades but repeatedly stalled due to political, environmental, and engineering challenges.
Supporters argue the crossing could transform southern Italy’s economy by boosting trade and travel, while critics warn of high costs, seismic risks, and potential environmental damage.
