A connection uniting two territories and bringing the Mediterranean closer to Europe
The Strait of Messina Bridge, open to trains and cars 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, is the best response to demand for a more efficient and modern transport system connecting Sicily, Calabria and the rest of the mainland. The bridge will make extension of the Italian and European rail network to Calabria and Sicily sustainable.
The project
The bridge
Its record span of 3,300 metres will accommodate 3 road lanes in each direction, 2 service lanes and 2 rail tracks, providing a crossing capable of guaranteeing high levels of safety and service continuity.
Road and rail links
40 km of road and rail links (80% of which running through tunnels) will connect the Bridge, on the Calabrian side, with the Autostrada del Mediterraneo and Villa San Giovanni train station and, on the Sicilian side, with the Messina-Catania and Messina-Palermo motorways and the new Messina train station.
