flag Italy approved the £11.7bn Messina Bridge, but a court halt over EU law violations delays its future.

flag Italy has approved the Messina Bridge, a £11.7bn project to link Calabria and Sicily across the Strait of Messina, but a recent court ruling has halted progress, citing violations of EU environmental and procurement laws. flag The bridge, if completed, would span 3.3km with 400-meter towers, cut travel time to ten minutes, and support rail and traffic lanes. flag Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni remains committed despite delays from past corruption concerns, seismic risks, and opposition from 4,000 residents. flag The project’s future depends on a government appeal of the court decision.
