List of bridges by length

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donghai Bridge, 2nd longest cross-sea bridge, bumped to second by the Hangzhou Bay Bridge (also in China) in May 2008.
Donghai Bridge, 2nd longest cross-sea bridge, bumped to second by the Hangzhou Bay Bridge (also in China) in May 2008.

This is a list of the world's bridges longer than 1 km (3281 ft) sorted by their full length above land or water. "Span" refers to their longest span without ground support. Four of the world's ten longest bridges are located entirely within the U.S. state of Louisiana.

Note: There is no standard way to measure the total length of a bridge. Some bridges are measured from the beginning of the entrance ramp to end of the exit ramp. Some are measured from shoreline to shoreline. Yet others are the length of the total construction involved in building the bridge. Since there is no standard, no ranking of these bridges should be assumed because they are at a specific position in this list. Additionally, some numbers are merely estimates and measures in U.S. customary units (feet) may be imprecise due to conversion error.
