Culture, tourism, ecology, economy, maffia.... plenty of reasons.

The problem is that Sicily is freely floating. That would constantly break the bridge.

Sicily is build on a wooden platform that freely floats on the ocean.

Ah, I didn't get the sarcasm at first! Because it is on its own microplate that makes it challenging to build a bridge. I thought you might mean that with an... interesting understanding of it.
