Messina Bridge concessionaire Stretto di Messina has held a trio of roadshows in New York, Tokyo and London following April’s tender advertisement for a general contractor to build the record- breaking crossing linking Sicily to the Italian mainland. Delegates heard presentations on the scheme’s technical, financial and legal framework. The road and rail bridge will have a main suspension span of 3.3km, dwarfing the current record holder Akashi Kaikyo’s 1.991km.
