I've watched a number of YouTube videos about this. They've been looking at this for many years and always did it a few years ago. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 12:17 2

It would be the Longest Bridge *Span* in the world at 3200 Meters. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 28, 12:06 1
- Ahh, that makes more sense. - Krusty Jan 28, 12:19
"longest bridge in the world" -- they'd have to go a long way out of their way for that to be true. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 11:56 6
- Longest suspension bridge, maybe? -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 13:29
- "Longest bridge over the Mediterranean Sea in the World!" -- nm - decline Jan 28, 12:03
- Yeah, it wouldn't even be close -- nm - Krusty Jan 28, 12:00 3
  - I was like "oh wow" and then they are like "2 miles". Huh? - ty97 Jan 28, 12:02 2
    - Ha! Yeah, I thought it was further than 2 miles. In my head they're not nearly that close but clearly my brain is wrong. -- nm - Krusty Jan 28, 12:06 1
      - I vaguely remember sailing through there on my trip from Australia back to England. -- nm - Meg Jan 28, 12:25
"If approved, it would lead to the construction of the longest bridge in the world" - ty97 Jan 28, 11:54 3
- Guessing they mean longest main span? -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 12:07 1
  - It sounds like they're leaving out info to make it sound more impressive than it actually is. 🤷‍♂️ -- nm - Krusty Jan 28, 12:16
- don't have 'Ndrangheta supply the concrete -- nm - mud Jan 28, 11:59
