It's to connect mainland Italy to Sicily. They've been trying to build it since Pliny the Elder suggested it.

It's not even that wide of a crossing, bit over 2 miles with a maximum depth of 235 feet (Verrazzano-Narrows in NYC is wider). It wouldn't be setting any firsts were it not for their deliberate decision in the 2006 design phase to go for a record setting center span so the towers don't have to be built in the water.

The less ambitious 1950's plan would have just beaten out the Golden Gate and the Mackinac.

It wouldn't be setting any firsts were it not for their deliberate decision in the 2006 design phase to go for a record setting center span. A bit ambitious for such an earthquake prone area. A three or four tower design would probably be safer but more expensive, or a narrower two tower span with deeper pilings and some causeway.
