The Strait of Sicily Tunnel is a proposed megaproject to link Sicily and Tunisia
The distance between the coastlines is about 155 km and would be reached by five tunnels constructed between four intermediate artificial islands which will be built with the excavated material
A preliminary study was promoted by the ENEA institute
The connections across the Strait of Sicily, as of 2011, are by car ferry and air travel
There are ferries Palermo-Tunis (3 round trips per week), Trapani-Tunis (1 round trip per week), Civitavecchia-Tunis (2 per week), Genoa-Tunis, and Marseille-Tunis.
