NEW VENICE BRIDGE
LINK WITH THE MAINLAND BY CAUSEWAY Venice is to have a broad bridge and viaduct over the Laguna nearly three miles long for English and American tourists to use as a motor driveway and come straight into the city of canals. Every improvement that Venice makes is naturally “for English and Americans," who frequent its hotels and 'spend the season at the Lido.
The scheme has been approved by the Government of Rome and the signature of Mussolini appended to it, so that it is a sure thing. In a year or two the bridge and viaduct will be finished. It will be broad enough for eight motor-cars to drive abreast, and it will not only cover the three miles across the Laguna but go as far, on tha dry land, as Padua.
