"According to the official plans, the bridge from Torre Faro to Villa San Giovanni in Calabria would be the world’s longest suspension bridge, with a central span – the distance between the two main supporting towers – of 3.3km. Its deck would carry six traffic lanes, two service lanes and two railway tracks. No suspension bridge with a comparable span exists. (The closest is Japan’s Minami Bisan-Seto Bridge, opened in 1988, with a main span of 1.1km.)" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/22/sicily-italy-bridge-plans-strait-of-messina
