" In December and January we will start another infrastructure, which is the bridge over the Strait. "
Uhm, adding the word" useless ", the sentence would be grammatically correct.
Let's understand each other.
the vision of the preliminary draft, anyone who would knee-jerk reaction and unconditional laughter, one of those impossible to retain.
If you're laughing, stop: The project is really what . And, moreover, there is crying.
... And, even more so, there is a mind that has actually studied and thought
William Brown, an engineer English, has personally designed and signed the carnage, presented in 2003.
Brown to specialize in the construction of suspension bridges (that specializes in bridges have not found unworkable, hath been sold to the Japanese ..). Sifting through his curriculum vitae collaborations include the design of several bridges.
Here are the most impressive: Forth Road Bridge the Firth of Forth, Scotland (length 1824m); Wye Bridge, linking South Wales with England (length 1153m); Severn Bridge, England (length 1839m); The first bridge over the Bosphorus , Turkey (length 1560m); Storebaelt Bridge, Denmark (length 6800m).
Thus, in 1993, decided to take part in the construction of a concrete slab that would combine Sicily to Calabria, all the modest price of 3.88 billion euros .
construction, as designed, autographed by him, provides that the bridge six lanes of traffic and two rail tracks .
mica does not end here: The magnificence should have a length of 3666m and 3300m span and rest on two pillars each 398m high. Obviously, the two pillars just mentioned, will places in an area of \u200b\u200bhigh seismic risk , otherwise there would be no fun. Why, to make it truly a bridge with the attributes, it was decided to do so to resist seismic forces up to magnitude 7.1.
Why just 7.1? Simple, is exactly equal to the shock that literally razed to the ground in 1908, Messina and someone said that the next will have exactly the same magnitude. If it fails to be shocking and should be stronger (prorpio we hope not), patience: They have tried.
But the best is yet to come.
The bridge will be connected to all the existing road and rail facilities, or the Messina-Catania , the Palermo-Messina and, last but not least , the Salerno-Reggio Calabria (yes, you: Is there really! It is not an urban legend!) And the high-capacity rail that would connect to a future unspecified Naples and Reggio Calabria and, thanks to the bridge, would be extended up to Palermo, so that TAV Terrone become an acronym for High Speed \u200b\u200b( citation needed).
Obviously that is, the first born (?) And then the bridge, allowing time and desire, you think the highways. The Salerno-Reggio Calabria for decades that is incomplete, twelve years older than twelve years or less will not make a difference. There is always the risk that still remains in that condition, however.
If, if only for a few seconds and by means of a utopian imagination, this could really stand up, it would mock any world record: The Japanese and their Acascicacchio (Akashi-Kaikyo, 's exactly ..) would ridicolizati.
Aye: For once, Silvio would longest of all!
" Here the aim is to bridge from 3000 meters errotti, good ceiling as required with the patches ."
