France is building a 45 billion dollar railway around Paris. Called the Grand Paris Express, it will feature 4 new lines that will stretch over 200 kilometers and feature 68 new stations. With an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour, the network will unite the suburbs of Paris, better integrating the metro area, while serving 3 million passengers a day. The first phase is opening in 2024, with a planned completion in 2030.

The Philippines is going to build a 32 kilometer long bridge across Manila Bay, uniting the provinces of Bataan and Cavite. It will include 4 highway lanes and 2 cable-stayed spans, stretching 900 and 400 meters each, allowing large ships to reach the Port of Manila while cutting travel distances by 60%.

Italy is considering building a 3.6 kilometer long bridge across the Strait of Messina, uniting Sicily with mainland Italy. The bridge would be 382 meters tall and have a 3.3 kilometer long main span, the longest in the world. With 4 traffic lanes and 2 railway tracks, it would unite Reggio Calabria and Messina into one city, but would have to deal with earthquakes and its feared mafia groups would infiltrate the project’s construction.
