First it was the [Rio-Antirio Bridge](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio-Antirio_bridge) in Greece, then the [Millau Viaduct](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millau_Viaduct) in France, the world’s highest vehicular bridge.

Now, they’re going to build the [world’s longest suspension bridge](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Messina_Bridge) between Sicily and mainland Italy.

Pretty impressive, yes?
