7 Things to consider for the Messina Bridge project development
Messina Bridge Project Development
The Messina Bridge development promises to be an amazing creation if it goes ahead. It is said that it would be the longest suspension bridge in the world. It will be a huge undertaking and cost a huge amount. There are people who both want the bridge to be built and those who do not want it built. Below we look at 10 considerations.
1. Money - Could the money be better spent and put into the Italian economy, health service and social services. many people feel so. Can Italy even afford such a project.
2. Jobs - The Messina Bridge project development would almost certainly create thousands of construction job opportunities and this would be a definite benefit.
3. Safety - In an area of the world which sometimes sees earthquakes may not perhaps be the best place to build the worlds longest bridge of this kind, some people say.
4. Tourism - It without doubt would be fantastic for tourism to the South of Italy and for Sicily.
5. Trade - In terms of road freight the bridge would also certainly have a very positive impact.
6. Travel times - The bridge would reduce the travel time between the mainland and Sicily be 1-3 hours. At the moment the trip must be done by ferry boat and it is burdensome.
7. Mafia - Many people wonder if this huge construction project would be an opportunity for the mafia.
