Italy builds a bridge between the Apennines and Sicily

The Italian government has approved a project to build the longest suspension bridge in history. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This bridge will connect the Apennine Peninsula with the island of Sicily. The project length is approximately 3.3 kilometers, with two support towers each standing 399 meters tall.

The allocated budget for construction amounts to 13.5 billion euros. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called this project an important initiative of strategic significance for the country.

The bridge will not only serve to develop the transport system but also improve the entire country's infrastructure. According to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Matteo Salvini, the project will strengthen connections between various regions of Italy and provide new impetus for the country's development.

Construction work is expected to last about 6 years and will employ advanced technologies. The project also plans to build over 40 kilometers of road and railway lanes.

This bridge will have a positive impact not only on the development of Southern Italy but also on the entire national economy. Additionally, the project will integrate into the trans-European transport network, gaining national importance for Italy.

The project's history dates back to the 1960s, but it has now reached the implementation stage, creating new opportunities. This initiative will be an important step in modernizing the country's infrastructure and developing the economy.
