WorkWorkWorkWorkItaly greenlights Messina Strait bridge to link Sicily with the mainland The project to build a long-delayed and debated bridge linking the Italian mainland with Sicily has cleared a major hurdle. Work will begin on what will be the world's longest suspension bridge despite concerns over earthquakes, environmental impacts and the threat of mafia interference.
