Because the mafia controls the boats. Next question.
The sicillians don’t want to be connected to Europe
Besides mafia, also…
We need some Hans administration to solve the problem
How about we just make a land bridge? A little isthmus? We’d charge for it but we know Sicilians don’t have any money. So it’ll just be free. Just this once because they’d hate it
Salvini said that bridge is being made.
Salvini always lies.
Therefore, there is no bridge.
No economic incentive (this is both a jab and the truth)
Haven’t they been trying to build one for the past forty years?
Because maffffia pastaaaa pizzaaa maRRRioo

Tis a Sicily place
They can stay on their island. It’s the best for everyone
good question,ask salvini
Give it some 50/60 years and about 10 more times the initial budget, wait and see
Charybdis and Scylla do be eatin up those bridges.
There are a lot of reasons, but one that comes to mind is that it is in an earthquake hotspot, the sea floor is very deep and the currents are really strong.
Also, economically, it would be a massive economic undertaking
I’m sure the people on Sicily wouldn’t like that very much. Islanders rarely do afaik.
It didn’t fit the boot shape so it was cutted away
Ingegner cane is working on it. Give him time please.
Saw a great video of this by B1M.
Seems corruption, incompetence, and it’s not that easy given it’s 90m deep… but ffs *Bangladesh* managed with the [Padma Bridge](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padma_Bridge), which is longer and deeper than this would need to be
You mean the Strait of Messina Bridge/Ponte sullo stretto di Messina)?
>A decade later, the project was revived again with a decree by [Giorgia Meloni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgia_Meloni)’s government, on 16 March 2023, which received presidential approval on 31 March 2023.
Real answer:
– Water is very deep so can’t build foundation
– harsh weather conditions are common there
– fears that the mafia will get involved in construction to swindle eu funds into their pocket
Jerk answer:
I hate sicilians
We have never built a bridge to prevent Sicilian immigrants from arriving in Italy more easily
There have been about seven consecutive governments that promised to build a bridge there, then never mentioned it again the rest of their term
Same reason there’s no bridge in Gibraltar
Maybe a massive trench like the one between England and Ireland containing all the dumped ww2 supplies and some chemical weapons
They should build it, with the mafia, but northerns are racist.
Hey!
I’m from Messina, on one of the two sides of “the Bridge”.
What do you mean “there is no bridge”? It’s been paid for at least five times!
I once asked an Italian that question and I regretted it for the next 30mins
ooooh North Europeans don’t understand PIGS’ way of (not) doing things. We had the same question for our Rio-Antirio bridge for decades, a very difficult project if you have the time to google it.
In a few words, there are ferries to transport people and vehicles, right? A whole economy based on a bridge that isn’t there. People earning money. People who also……. vote!

RedBull built one, was just a bit smaller than your average Bridge

Why build a bridge when you can polder?
