Italian Premier Matteo Renzi
may consider restarting the stalled construction of a suspension
bridge linking Sicily to the Italian mainland, Salini Impregilo
CEO Pietro Salini said Friday.
"I wish and hope that Renzi will reopen the dossier" of the
long-planned bridge across the Messina Straits, Salini said.
Salini said he discussed the possibility with the premier
and informed him that Salini Impregilo engineering concern is
willing to renounce the penalty compensation it is due in theory
for state delays in implementing the contract to build the
bridge.
Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi pledged to build
the bridge to end Sicily's isolation but the project was
scrapped by Mario Monti's technocrat government in 2012.
