Le pont de Messine : un vieux rêve qui divise l’Italie

The Italian government has approved the construction of the Messina Bridge, intended to connect Sicily with mainland Italy. The project, estimated to cost $21.6 billion CAD and scheduled for completion by 2032, faces significant opposition due to financial, environmental, and political concerns. While proponents view it as a strategic asset for NATO and a potential economic boost, critics argue that the funds would be better spent on existing infrastructure. The project also presents significant engineering challenges due to the region's seismic activity.
