List of longest suspension bridge spans
(Redirected from List of longest suspension bridges)
Template:Short description Template:EngvarB Template:Use dmy dates
Template:Side box The world's longest suspension bridges are listed according to the length of their main span (i.e., the length of suspended roadway between the bridge's towers). The length of the main span is the most common method of comparing the sizes of suspension bridges, often correlating with the height of the towers and the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge.[4] If one bridge has a longer span than another, it does not necessarily mean that the bridge is longer from shore to shore (or from abutment to abutment).
Suspension bridges have the longest spans of any type of bridge. Cable-stayed bridges, the next longest design, are practical for spans up to just over 1 kilometre (the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world has a 1,104m span). Therefore, as of January 2025, the 33 longest bridges on this list are the 33 longest spans of all types of vehicular bridges (other than floating pontoon bridges).
The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey holds the record since opening to traffic in March 2022, with a span of Script error: No such module "convert"..[1][3] Since 1998, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan previously held the record with a span of 1,991 metres (6,532 ft).
Completed suspension bridges
This list includes only completed suspension bridges that carry automobiles or trains that are at least Template:Cvt long. It does not include cable-stayed bridges, footbridges, or pipeline bridges.
