List of largest cable-stayed bridges

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sutong Bridge in China has the largest span among cable-stayed bridges

This list of the largest cable-stayed bridges ranks the world's cable-stayed bridges by the length of main span (distance between the suspension towers). The length of the main span is the most common way to rank cable-stayed bridges. If one bridge has a longer span than another it does not mean that the bridge is the longer from shore to shore or from anchorage to anchorage. However, the size of the main span does often correlate with the height of the towers and the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge.

Cable-stayed bridges with more than three spans are generally more complex, and bridges of this type generally represent a more notable engineering achievement even where their spans are shorter.

Cable-stayed bridges have the second-longest spans (after suspension bridges) of the types of bridge. They are practical for spans up to around 1 kilometer (0.6 mi). The Sutong Bridge over the Yangtze River in China has the largest span of any cable-stayed bridge at 1,088 meters (3,570 ft).
