'They must not touch the Strait': Sicily bridge opponents vow to put up a fight

Bridge Construction Approval: Italy has approved the construction of a bridge over the Strait of Messina, which would be the world's longest single-span bridge, with a budget of 13.5 billion euros. This project has faced opposition from local residents and environmental groups, leading to potential legal battles.

Community Impact and Legal Challenges: The project will require the expropriation of over 440 properties, raising concerns about displacement and environmental risks. Activists are preparing legal appeals against the government's decision, while supporters argue it could boost the local economy and create jobs.
