What are the primary economic and safety concerns surrounding the proposed Messina Strait bridge, and how do these concerns impact the project's feasibility?

The Messina Strait bridge project, estimated to cost €13.5 billion, is facing significant opposition due to its high cost and potential safety risks in a seismically active area. The EU has only allocated €25 million for planning, covering half the railway infrastructure costs. Local residents argue that funds should prioritize essential services like water and healthcare.
