View source for List of longest cantilever bridge spans

{{Short description|None}}
{{Refimprove|date=June 2008}}
This list of cantilever bridges ranks the world's [[cantilever bridge]]s by the length of their main span. A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using cantilevers: structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end.

==Completed cantilever bridges==
This list only includes bridges that carry automobiles or trains. It
does not include [[suspension bridge]]s, [[cable-stayed bridge]]s, [[footbridge]]s or [[pipeline bridge]]s. The span must be 720 feet (220&nbsp;m) or over to be included in the list.
