Final approval for the Strait of Messina bridge has been confirmed by the Italian interministerial committee and construction could start in a few months. The infrastructure ministry emphasizes the positive impact of the project on southern Italy's economy, including job creation and increased tourism. Although the Italian government aims to include the bridge in NATO's strategy, negative reactions have emerged both in Italy and among EU officials. The project has had a tumultuous history, having been delayed in the past for various reasons.
