I use to work in the engineering field (marketing specialist) and have always had an interest in infrastructure/engineering. The Strait of Messina Bridge scheduled to begin construction next year, will be the world’s longest suspension bridge if they can get through several hurdles.
Located in Italy, the bridge will connect Torre Faro in Sicily with Villa San Giovanni in the Italian Peninsula. Many challenges need to be addressed including the impact of earthquakes, strong currents in the strait, concerns of disruption of bird migration routes, and even the infiltration of mafia groups!
From the YouTube video description:
“The Strait of Messina Bridge, once complete, will become the longest single-span suspension bridge. This ambitious project will take 6 years to complete and aims to connect Sicily to mainland Italy and Europe. However, this project has its own unique challenges; the bridge will be subject to high winds and earthquakes that have never been witnessed at a bridge site before. From the design to the construction process, we will uncover the fascinating details behind this ambitious project. Whether you’re a bridge enthusiast, an engineering student, or simply curious about large-scale infrastructure, this video will provide you with a captivating insight into the world of civil engineering.”

This will be quite the engineering feat if they are succesful in their design and construction. Course I don’t think I’d want to drive over this bridge on a windy day!

That is wild would not travel on it. I could use prayer if anyone can supply found out I have lung cancer Stage 3 C and two lymphomas from it as well doing chemo and radiation together to see if they can stop it. But any prayers would be appreciated thank you in advance.
So sorry to hear of this diagnosis, Brian.
We will keep you in our prayers for your treatment and recovery.
Thank you DCG
Dearest Brian…there is HOPE…I’ve been praying & supporting another (pastor)w/whom we worked in the past w/US Public Health Service, who has been treating/standing up to a leukemia that is using the same sorts of treatment as you. Modern treatments are so much more effective than in the past. Do not lose faith, do not give up on your treatments. Much love and prayers…step forward in faith……
Thank you CalGirl will add him to my pray list.
