List of longest suspension bridge spans

The world'slongest suspension bridgesare listed according to the length of their mainspan(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 ofsuspension 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 fromabutmentto abutment).

The1915 Çanakkale Bridgein Turkey, opened in 2022, has the longest central span (2,023 m) of any suspension bridge.[1][2][3]

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 (thelongest cable-stayed bridge in the worldhas 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 floatingpontoon bridges).

The1915 Çanakkale Bridgein Turkey holds the record since opening to traffic in March 2022, with a span of 2,023 metres (6,637 ft).[1][3]Since 1998, theAkashi Kaikyo Bridgein Japan previously held the record with a span of 1,991 metres (6,532 ft).

Completed suspension bridges

edit

This list includes only completed suspension bridges that carry automobiles or trains that are at least 1,000 m (3,300 ft) long. It does not include cable-stayed bridges,footbridges,orpipeline bridges.
