\"Strait<\/div>\n

A 3,666-metre-long bridge<\/a> is set to connect Sicily to mainland Italy, which, if built, will be the world’s longest suspension bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Estimated to cost \u20ac13.5 billion (\u00a311.8 billion), the bridge’s suspension will span 3,300 metres across the Strait of Messina and accommodate both road and rail transport.<\/p>\n

The project is being developed by a consortium led by Italian construction company Webuild<\/a> and, according to the Strait of Messina company<\/a>, is expected to be completed in 2032.<\/p>\n

If built, the Strait of Messina Bridge will surpass the 1915 \u00c7anakkale Bridge in Turkey<\/a> as the world’s longest single-span bridge.<\/p>\n

According to Webuild, the bridge forms “the heart” of a larger infrastructure development set to include more than 40-kilometres of new roads and rail lines, three underground stations and ten viaducts across Sicily and Calabria.<\/p>\n
