Fury over earthquake risk assessments for Strait of Messina bridge

Original: stretto

A dispute has broken out between engineers and the Italian transport ministry over seismic risk for the planned bridge across the Strait of Messina. Experts involved in the project say research into local fault lines is being dismissed as 'senseless', while ministry officials counter that the studies lack sufficient data. The row has put safety scrutiny of one of Italy's biggest infrastructure projects back in the spotlight.

Why now: The planned Strait of Messina bridge is highly controversial in Italy, and a public clash over earthquake safety has reignited debate.
