Cyclically we return to talk about the Bridge over the Strait of Messina and its realization is among the programs of Matteo Salvini, the new one to the Ministry of Infrastructure within the Meloni government. Shortly after his inauguration, the leader of the League reiterated his desire to unblock the construction sites started and to plan the construction of the Strait Bridge, which connects Reggio Calabria and Messina also taking advantage of the funds of the PNRR.
Bridge over the Strait of Messina
The bridge over the Strait of Messina has always made news and divides Italians between for and against. With the establishment of the government led by Giorgia Meloni there could be an acceleration on the project, especially in light of the political will to carry it out on the part of Matteo Salvininew Minister of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility.
The work was included among the objectives to be achieved. The leader of the League, now also deputy premier, during the 5 years of the Meloni government aims to start with the building site and proceed with the work. The Messina Strait Bridge was also a target of the governments led by Silvio Berlusconi.
What will the bridge over the Strait of Messina look like
The project of the bridge over the Strait of Messina is ambitious and a challenge for those who will be called to realize it. In 2021, a study conducted on the seabed of the Strait of Messina and on the seismic-tectonics of the area was released, carried out by Department of Biological, Geological and Environmental Sciences of the University of Catania together with Center for Ocean and Society-Institute of Geosciences of the University of Kiel in Germany and theEtna Observatory of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.
The study determined that the Strait area could be highly seismic, given that it is located at the fault that triggered the 1908 earthquake. The engineering challenge therefore is complex but not impossible. In 2021 the Draghi government had included the construction of the bridge among the objectives of the PNRR, entrusting the state Railways a new feasibility study. The report of the working group had given indications for both the Single span bridge, both multi-span. But according to the experts the project with the greatest possibility of realization is that a three spans
The report then examined the implementation of two antennas based on the deep bottoms of the strait, taking up the studies of a solution analyzed at the feasibility level, and discarded at the beginning of the 90s for economic inefficiencies and technical and environmental issues.
History Bridge over the Strait of Messina to connect Sicily and Calabria
The Messina Strait Bridge project to connect Sicily to Calabria is set to end in ceiling Also this time? During history Italian has been the subject of heated debates on costs, utility and technical feasibilityproposed with a series of varied civil engineering projects, prepared at different times and with different solutions, to create a road and rail crossing stable of the Strait of Messina, thus connecting Sicily with Calabria and the Italian peninsula.
The latest hypotheses developed starting from the 1970s assumed a single-span bridge project by 3 300 mwhich would be extensively the longest suspension bridge in the world.
Will it be done or not? For now, nothing for sure, it will certainly be a work destined to improve the road system towards Sicily.
