The Strait of Messina Bridge is a long-planned suspension bridge across the Strait of Messina, that connects the cities of Messina’s Torre Faro and the port city of Villa San Giovanni in Calabria.
While the bridge has been proposed since ancient times, a detailed plan was made in the 1990s for a suspension bridge.
The project was cancelled in 2006, under Prime Minister Romano Prodi.
However, on 6 March 2009, as part of a massive new public works programme, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government announced that construction of the Messina Bridge would indeed go ahead, pledging €1.3 billion as a contribution to the bridge's total cost, estimated at €6.1 billion.
The project was cancelled again on 26 February 2013, by Prime Minister Mario Monti's government due to budget constraints.
