Description: Spanning one of the Mediterranean's most storied and treacherous waterways, the proposed bridge across the Strait of Messina represents an engineering ambition centuries in the making. This book traces the long arc of the project, from ancient dreams and modern proposals to the formation of the Stretto di Messina Consortium and the extraordinary technical challenges of designing the world's longest single-span suspension bridge. Along the way, it examines the science of cables and anchorages, the ever-present threats of wind and seismic activity, and the shifting political and economic winds that have alternately propelled and stalled the endeavor. A compelling exploration of infrastructure at the edge of what is possible.
