| 摘要： | Linking the tip of Calabria with the island of Sicily, the bridge would replace the current ferry service and would also deliver major economic benefits to trade and tourism for two of Italy's poorest areas. If the Messina Strait bridge is built, it will be a landmark construction project.To build such a structure, the bridge will have to meet major technical challenges and will be record-setting in terms of its scale.The project will face challenges. The proposed design calls for a suspension bridge, which would be able to cope with the massive quakes that the area experiences. However, it will be a record-breaking design as it will feature the widest central span of any suspension bridge ever built. And this will require enormous towers to support the structure.Italian contractor Webuild believes it has the expertise to construct such a bridge. According to Webuild engineering director Michele Longo, "The Bridge over the Strait of Messina is a project that can break ground immediately. As soon as the contract is reinstated and updated, the project can start. The executive design is expected to take eight months, while the time needed to build the bridge will be a little more than six years. Webuild, as leader of the Eurolink Consortium, is interested in building the project and it makes itself available to the country to get to work as soon as possible." |
