Italy gives the latest approval to the longest suspension in the world to Sicily

Rome has final approval to build the longest husband of 13.5 million euros ($ 15.6 million) in the southern Sicilian region, on the Italian button.

The designers claim the bridge – the need to be built in one of the most seismic areas of the Mediterranean – will be able to withstand earthquakes.

According to the latest project, the bridge over the Messina Strait will be extended between 3,3 km (2.05 miles (1,300 meters), which will run with two central lines and two traffic pathways.

Rome expects the bridge to classify in military spending to count the goal of 5% of GDP spent in defense.

Minister of Transportation Matteo Salvini, the leader of the right Lega Party and a Melonian government, a Melonian government, which he celebrated the landmark, aimed to complete the bridge between 2032 and 2033.

He also claimed that the bridge would create 120,000 jobs a year and lead to economic growth. Sicilia and Calabria regions are one of the poorest in Europe.

However, the project must still be sealed by the Italian Court and the environmental agencies, both nationally and at the EU level.

Several residents of different residents should also be consulted and may decide as a legally decision, which means that the construction of the bridge can be delayed.

Today, the only way to cross the strait trains is the coaches back to the ferries and carrying it throughout the sea for a 30-minute journey.
