It's looking like the proposed Messina Straight bridge project might finally happen. The 3.3km span would make it the world's longest suspension bridge by far, located in a spot known for high winds and earthquakes.

Stretto di Messina has a bunch of info and images about the project (all in Italian): https://strettodimessina.it/
