Maybe a suspension bridge would be the best choice, with the entire middle a bit flexible.

It’s going to be tricky. I think I read a long time ago that Sicily moves north up to 3 inches per year, which would cause a sideways shift the way the bridge is aligned. Over 40 years, that’s 10 feet, more than a lane width. It will have implications for expansion joints as well as for the cables.
