@@youngheroengineer Yes - but it looks like the sort of thing a Chinese company would do. That's why I was surprised! ;-) We don't do big projects much in Europe any more.

It is always something. Trying to build a much needed bridge to withstand regular earthquake threat. Is indeed a geographical problem to solve. As in North America to build an international bridge when private owner of another bridge did not wish it to become reality.
I like your animations but your audio volume is far too low. I had to raise my tablets' volume to almost maximum in order to hear you. PLEASE Raise your microphones recording levels. Your background music was almost louder than you, and it was not playing at a high volume.
nice informations, graphic in video and video itself 🙂 but the sound... sounds more on the left channel than right and is hissing sometimes or how to explain it, hope you understand me, but you WILL get better 🙂take care
Are you sure this isn't just an enormous prank? The satellite view looks like a rock chipping tied with string to the toe of a boot; and that begs a question concerning the cost, how long is the piece of string
Looks like the technical details have been thought out and it's ready to go. I be concerned about Mafia involvement. It would only take substandard materials being used in one area to render the whole thing an expensive piece of junk.
The mafia meddled with the construction of the MOSE dam that protects Venice, and it had several cost and time overruns, investigations and also arrests of people involved with the project. And we all know how it turned out. This bridge is needed (along with HS railway to Sicily and decent motorways and railways not only in Sicily but in Sardinia and Calabria as well), but the quality of Italian politics is worrisome. I think it's the less ethical leading class we've ever had since the end of the economic boom.
At 0:18 you say this will be "the world's longest bridge". That's ridiculous. I used to live in a town that had not one, but _two_ bridges longer than this. I'm not trying to take away from the impressiveness of this bridge, but you need to check your text more carefully next time.
@@Culturanerd4877 what I would have done is only have 2 lanes open for now but I would have left space on each side of the road for a new lane sometime in the future
bro as an Italian i can say barley anyway wants this bridge in italy, but politicians want to make it just to appear as good politicians, we cannot make it ad if we do it will fall (it already happend with the ponte morandi) also they want to build it in the poorer part of italy, they could use the money to renew citys and services also there is mafia there (ndrangheta and cosa nostra)

Why not just add pillars under bridge, then slope at the curve and use land as road(it create slowdown at bridge to be slower). Looks bridge can swing. This was spoken before in the past I wonder why it is being created like this. Is it about success of a plot? To create writing like this to exist?

amazing video thanks for your channel , how can u find the details of these knowledge ? there r any special sources for more researching?
Great video. Did you make the 3d model yourself?
Yes
@@youngheroengineer on which software. Its so amazing
Blender
@@youngheroengineer Thanks. And really appreciated. I want to learn it also. If possible you can share from which website we can learn
@@youngheroengineer thank you, as a sicilian and engineering student i've never seen such an accurate model!
A suspension bridge is automatically resistant to earthquakes. In fact, it is basically a non-issue
Are you an engineer?

I’m confident the final price will be closer to $20B 😅

Actually, the bridge will be built by Webuild, which is an Italian company.

What will be the price to send me that 3D bridge!?
But can it be built well and up to standards? Will it be in time and within the budget?
Maybe 20 years ago, sure.
Hmm 🤔 good point
It's hard to say until they hit the ground running.
@@youngheroengineer will they hire genuinely competent people for this operation? Or just check a bunch of political checkboxes?

this is amazing. Why can't the US have this kind of design?
There are longer bridges than this and bridges capable of surviving earthquakes just as violent.

Yeah he should have specified "single span". He does it later tho
The anchorage of cable you draw is ridicoulusly small, try to evaluate proper dimensions. It is not a lego building..😂😂
2 lanes? That’s not even remotely future proof
So?Here in sicily highways are with two lanes, what's the sense of build a bridge's Road bigger than the highways that Will conect?
And the central train line can move more people more effectly than the cars
@@Lorre982 yes that’s good at least
@@Culturanerd4877 because you can just add another lane later down the line to the other parts

10,827 feet is around 2 miles. IDK if that’s the worlds longest bridge.
I think it means longest single span with no supports in between
It will be the longest suspension bridge by a long shot, about 50% longer than the second longest
You are brainless
The actual project is mote than 15 year old, they find a new error in the project there isn t enough hight for the bigger ship

Oh yes, mafia and 'ndrangheta will makes a lot of business with this huge construction...
I remember mafia set bombs under roads...
No, now mafia set their managers in building company and government

Just ask china
Wouldn’t build a tunnel beneath the strait been easier?
clearly you watched like, 5 minutes of the video 😐
Too deep and it'd have to pass through a fault line

3 Km? The Bridge between Rio de Janeiro and Niterói has 13 Km, 8 of them above the sea. The longest in the world? Come on....
You didn't even see the video, only just comment the title. I'ts the longest bridge in one span: over 3 Km between the two pillars.
Look brainess: IT WILL BE THE LONGEST SUSPENSION BRIDGE
