List of the longest suspension bridges

The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge has the largest medium span in the world

The list of the longest suspension bridges ranks suspension bridges according to the length of their mean span (distance between the pylons ). This is the most common metric used to compare suspension bridges. If one bridge has a longer span than another, this does not mean that the length from bank to bank must necessarily be greater. However, the mean span is in a correlation with the height of the pylons and the complexity of the engineering work in planning and construction.

Longest suspension bridges

The list contains the 101 longest suspension bridges in the world with road and / or rail traffic. These are arranged according to the length of the center span. Whenever possible, the total length of the bridge is also given. Cable- stayed bridges , pedestrian bridges and pipeline bridges are not listed .
