Possible bureaucratic turning point in the process that will lead to the start of construction work on the Bridge over the Strait. On April 16th, at 11:00, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure has announced the Preliminary Services Conferencein which not only all the ministries and State Administrations involved, the Calabria and Sicilian Regions and the municipalities will participate, but also the managing bodies of the so-called infrastructure networks, such as gas and energy, recipients of any interference.

Salvini satisfied

Among the many positive reactions to the news there is also that of the CEO of the Strait of Messina, Pietro Ciucci, who commented as follows: “A further concrete step forward as part of the process aimed at building the bridge over the Strait of Messina”.

Double speed

Repubblica on newsstands today highlights how progress has actually been made on the issue double speed. “On the one hand, a rush with an electoral flavour, with the start of the Services Conference on the Strait Bridge project at the Ministry of Infrastructure, despite the fact that there is no complete definitive project after the 68 observations from the scientific committee – we read in the newspaper – On the other, a disarming slowness: it took the ministry a year to pass a decree that allows it to 'control' the deeds and contracts launched in the meantime by the revived Strait of Messina Company with private individuals for a 15 billion project”.
