List of longest bridges
This is a list of the world's bridges sorted by their full length above land or water. "Span" refers to their longest span without ground support.
- 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 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.
