The "Lake Pontchartrain Causeway" bridge is no longer the longest bridge over water. The Qingdao Haiwan Bridge should be the longest over water (source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8248197/China-builds-worlds-longest-bridge.html)
Can someone please fix this? Thanks Marcopolo112233 (talk) 10:21, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Someone changed the length of the bridge. The length should be between 42.5km and 42.6km. The person also removed my changes mentioned above. Why was it changed? Please give reasons before changing next time. If no-one objects, I will correct it tomorrow. Marcopolo112233 (talk) 04:17, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
The length of 42.5 km is even reported as an official Guinness World Record (source: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/longest-bridge-over-water-(aggregate-length) ). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.75.31.129 (talk) 15:17, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

I agree - in English the more appropriate term may be viaduct or elevated railway. 桥 refers to more than what is called a "bridge" in English. Names of freeway interchanges end in 桥. --JWB (talk) 04:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm pretty certain that Confederation isn't the longest bridge in the world. But I don't know any better, so it will have to stay for now. DJ Clayworth 18:18, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
This bridge was built by the Japanese in Cambodia, the first bridge to cross the Mekong. I walked acoross it and its what I think of when i think of 1km, although its 1360m i think of it as just over a km. Width is 12.2 m. Young people like to hang out in the middle of the bridge on the sidewalks, although it is a car bridge.
I do not know how to edit the REF page but here is a ref. Could someone please ad it to the REF page for me? Thank You. --Jon in California http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0WDP/is_2001_Dec_10/ai_83137882

why doesn't the vasco da gama bridge with its 17km (according to article)appear in this list? --62.199.241.134 16:01, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
i think the span length is more important than the overall length. the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge is much more of an engeinnering marvel than the Confederation Bridge.
Can someone tell me why the Vasco da Gama bridge over the Tagus in Lisbon isn't listed?
Also the Tappan Zee Bridge (aka the Malcolm Wilson) at 16,013 feet would seem to belong at no. 13. Mwanner 20:12, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
Hey! What about the Great Belt Bridges of Denmark? They're both almost 7000 meters long!
The (approximate) lengths of the Bong and Blatnik bridges (in Duluth, Minnesota-Superior, Wisconsin) may be low, depending on how things are measured. It was hard to find numbers of any sort, but I didn't include approaches (I added the bridges at ~8,300 ft and 7,975 ft, respectively—apparently the distance that they are exclusively over water). Some clearer rules on exactly how things should be measured would be helpful (not that nice numbers are always available or anything...) —User:Mulad (talk) 08:12, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)
Is there 79,200 feet between the tunnel and the land at any part? The length "Toll Plaza to Toll Plaza" is 105,600 feet ([3]). - Jerryseinfeld 19:26, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I have restored the empty links in the first column, as the numbers of the links are performing the dual function of giving the rank. If there is a better way to do this then I would do so and move the website links either to a new column on the right or (my preference) move them to the WP article about the bridge.

I would just like to point out to the author of this page that the 4.5 mile long James River Bridge that spans the James River from Newport News, Virginia to Suffolk, Virginia and was quite possibly the longest bridge in the World when first completed in 1928 is missing from this page. It would be fifteenth or so on the list were it included. It sometimes gets confused with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge or the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel as it has a similar length to the former and is fairly near tthe second, and all three span different segments of the Chesapeake Bay, but they are three different structures. Here is a link with some information on the James River Bridge: http://www.roadstothefuture.com/US17_JRB.html
You can check this in google earth and also in bridge's official website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.61.22.88 (talk) 11:30, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Can someone please clarify what this list is measuring? Is it total length above ground and water? If so, where does the bridge start and where does it end? What about bridges that have an island in the middle? A clear definition should be posted at the top of the list.
I want to add the Runyang Bridge which recently opened. The total length of the bridge complex is about 35.66 km. It includes two bridges an island in the middle and lots of viaducts. I'm willing to research the length of the bridge for inclusion on this list, but without a clear definition, I don't know what information I am searching for. -- Samuel Wantman 22:59, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The list is inconsistent and contradictory in many respects. I am listing the following things I found questionable at first glance (I'm sure there are more, a check into the facts would reveal that):
So, how on earth is this considered the 4th longest bridge?
The article should either present clear, unambiguous facts, or should not exist at all. Thanks. --Ragib 00:59, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
I totally agree that this list is USELESS !! Another example is the Penang Bridge. I believe the the stated 13.5 KM is total road length for the project, as the shore to shore is ONLY 8.0 KM and even the total elevated bridge is under 9.0 km (water & land). The purposes of these bridges are over water, and thus I firmly believe the ranking should be on the shore to shore distance. Of course these other numbers can mentioned where needed. If this is NOT changed, might as well as put a giant disclaimer on this page that there is NO CONSISTANCY with this ranking. Another bridge appears to be the Rio-Niterói Bridge where the stated bridge length is way over the shore to shore distance.
In addition, I believe trying to rank the total elevated bridge (land and water) is very inconsistant as well since the road usually seperates over land and so which direction do you use; unless it is chosen to use the shortest elevated distance (which I would be ok with)
So how can we move forward on either making a consistant list or deleting this page all together !!
I'm thinking that List of bridges by span length is needed, or would it be better to split this article into two sections, one by total length and the other by span length. Whaddya think? Cacophony 21:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be a dispute between User:Alanmak and User:Instantnood over how to represent bridges in "China". First off, please stop using "revert", as it loses good edits that are tied up in the same edits as the dispute. I think the core points of the argument are:
Lost in the revert war are
May I suggest the compromise is China (piped link). I suspect most people in the English-speaking world who say "China" to mean a country, mean the People's Republic (now including both Hong Kong and Macau). Will this be acceptable? --Scott Davis Talk 08:37, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Crossing over the Atchafalaya Basin is a continuous 18.2 mile (29,290.06 meters) bridge, which makes it the third longest bridge in the world. ACMe
It is a low-level causeway, much like the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, that has a few spans that are even more elevated. One crosses the Atchafalaya River. Does it belong in a list of "elevated freeways" or fit here as a bridge? ACMe
This also leads me to wonder about two other lengthy causeway-type bridges in Louisiana that would also make the top 20:
There's several bridges I can think of that could qualify in this top bridge list. Most are causeways, so they aren't as impressive. :) I'm sure there's a lot of other long causeways in the world.
(*) Hurricanes damaged an awful lot of long bridges last year. First, the Escambia Bay bridge, on I-10 near Pensacola. Damaged by Ivan, the replacement for this bridge will be 13,867 feet in length. (link)
Secondly, another long bridge is the Twin Span bridge in New Orleans. It was affected by Katrina. This is the bridge that is part of I-10. It is 5.4 miles in length. (link)
US 90 had two relatively large bridges destroyed in last year's hurricanes. The reconstructed Bay St. Louis bridge is 2.2 miles long, the Biloxi bridge is 1.6 miles long. (link)
(*) One not on this list is the Virginia Dare Bridge, North Carolina near Roanoke. Length: 5.2 miles. Span length: 230 feet. (link)
(*) Tampa Florida also is home to three bridges across Tampa bay. At least two count as having long contiguous spans over water: the Howard Frankland bridge (2 miles / 3.2km, (link)) and the Gandy bridge (I can't find the span length, but the "old" Gandy bridge has been converted into a hiking trail that is 2.6 miles in length.)
I think we should remove the rankings from this page unless:
I think both alternatives are unlikely, so we should not make it seem that the ranks are correct. -- Samuel Wantman 19:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
It is a pity that when sorted by length, we get lengths of 1000 and 10 000 before 2000. Is it because some have the units metres and feet with the numbers, whilst others just have the values? That is some are 100 m (330 ft) whilst some have 100 (330). Can this not be sorted properly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.254.149.42 (talk) 18:20, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I would like toadd a bridge even if it is at the bottom of the list. Bergnäsbron, length 896,5 m at one time longest in sweden, and according to some sources longest in Europe when built. Source : Swedish Wikipedia. Seniorsag 04:16, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
The list needs limitation or it will became endless. Also this list is not replacing List of bridges or List of notable bridges, so let's set up some limitation. My proposal is minimum length 1,000 m. --Jklamo 12:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
For the longer bridges, wouldn't a distance in miles be more appropriate than a distance in feet? I'm counting on my fingers to estimate what 126,024 feet is in a unit I can measure such a substantial distance! 23.9 miles, by my reckoning. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.86.138.193 (talk) 01:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC).
Is there a reason why the built bridges are in feet but the unbuilt bridges are in miles? Davewho2 (talk) 05:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Regarding Geratalbrücke Ichtershausen, this bridge is fully completed, hence I did not put it into the construction section, although the railway line it serves is still to be built. P.S. length values from German language wikipedia. -- Klaus with K 11:21, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Regarding Prakasam Barrage, from the few images I googled I mostly see a dam, maybe with some bridge-like overstructure. There are some bridge remains downstream, probably superseded by the current dam. Somehow I still need to be convinced this is a proper entry in this bridge list here. -- Klaus with K 13:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Per the following website, it is shown that the Penang Bridge in Malaysia is actually only 8.4 KM of elevated bridge. The currently stated 13.5 KM is actually the entire project road length comprising of 5.1 KM of road surface (not elevated in any way). I have traveled this bridge so many times and I truly believe the 8.4 KM is the length that should be used here, and thus needs to lowered in its ranking with other bridges that are mostly stated in ele

It appears that the Daniel Hoan Bridge, which carries I-794 across the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, harbor is missing. The bridge is 2.5 miles long, but I have not yet found any exact dimensions.
There are tons of bridges longer than 1 km all over the world. This list should start from 10 km and longer. Python eggs (talk) 16:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The Champlain Bridge in Canada appears twice in the list, the first time as "Champlain Bridge (Montreal)", the second time only as "Champlain Bridge", but both links point to the same Wikipedia page, and it is obvious that both are the same bridge.

The list does not sort properly for span lengths. This problem was raised in Talk:List of bridges by length#Rankings misleading and unverified. Part of the problem is that commas used in numbers greater than 999 cause the table to miss-sort. I do not know a good solution to this (a consistent number style? special tag in each row?), but as of now the table is frustrating as it appears to promise a sort, but does not deliver.-84user (talk) 20:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Postscript: I just discovered other columns do not sort properly, such as country. That must be easier to fix. It seems that the column contents for one country must be textually identical (ie. exactly the same) in all instances, otherwise the sort order gets broken. This means all the country names must be wikilinked or none of them. Or can anyone find a better solution? -84user (talk) 20:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
The article lists the Bang Na Expressway as the longest bridge, but generally excludes most other elevated freeway and railroad viaducts (e.g. the Alaskan Way Viaduct, or the elevated lines of the Chicago 'L' and the Taipei Rapid Transit System). We should probably either include or exclude them more generally. --Delirium (talk) 01:49, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
"A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle." Wikipedia bridge Many of these structures (eg Long Ba) are for the primary purpose of grade-separation of traffic - I propose that they be moved to Longest Viaducts.24.108.37.224 (talk) 22:02, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

This is a rather senseless question and greatly depends on the definition of a "bridge". In Germany for instance, a bridge is defined as an overpass with a distance of at least 2,0 m between its bearings, and I'm sure other countries have similar technical regulations. 217.83.179.140 (talk) 12:40, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
No mention of the Bandra Worli Sea Link?
--Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
This bridge doesn't have an article for it. Personally, I question the neutrality of including a bridge on this list if it lacks an article for it, or even a mention of it within another article. Furthermore, what I was able to read out of the cited article suggested a few things that suggest it should also not be on the list:
Taking all this into consideration, I'm tentatively removing it from this list. I propose it should not be re-added until the bridge has its own Wikipedia article, particularly one that lays all three of the above issues to rest; it establishes that it is a completed and open bridge, that its exact length in meters has been verified, and that it is, in fact, classified as a bridge.

The list sort function doesn't appear to work correctly for all entries; either because the way the data has been inputted, or something else, I'm not sure at the moment.

Hello,
Having noticed several recent edits, and finding that they are mostly about removing contents, I am taking the liberty to rollback these changes. I suggest that such changes are first discussed here. In particular I feel that increasing the minimum length from 2km to 5km is somewhat arbitrary, and defining bridge as crossing water is too narrow a definition—Elevated Expressway even lacks an article. -- Klaus with K (talk) 12:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
The current top entry is the Bang Na Expressway. The expressway appears to be nothing more than a highway, crossing no significant body of water(and certainly not it's longest span)or height above ground. When I sort by span I recieve Island Eastern Corridor as the first entry. This is also nothing more than a highway! No one wants to see stubby poles in the ground with pavement rolled over them when they want to see amazing bridges. There needs to be either stricter criteria for inclusion or better sorting perimeters.--Anthonzi (talk) 23:39, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

It would be fine to add a list of the longest bridges in history. As far as I know the longest bridge in Europe between 1849 (completed, or 1850 the first usage) and 1910 was the Negrelli viaduct in Prague. I would like to know the records before and after that. Miraceti (talk) 12:02, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
The Bhumibol Bridge isn't 13 km long but 4,2 km (source:http://www.roadtraffic-technology.com/projects/chao/), it's the Industrial Ring Road who measure 13 km
You can verify it on Wikimapia [7]--Glabb (talk) 09:11, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
I think many of these elevated highways, railroads, etc., do not qualify as bridges as they not meet the bridge article's definition of a bridge, which is:
a structure built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle.
For example, while I think many of these Chinese HSR bridges may cross rivers, valleys and the like, they do not exist to cross them but rather to get from a point A to B at the same elevation, which is simply an elevated railway. If we were to include all elevated crossings, this list would be 90% filled with such "bridges" that are only considered as such in this article and elevated roads or railways for the rest of the world. Under my definition, the list would be this:

The span length listed for the San Mateo – Hayward Bridge appears to include the entirety of the highrise section, rather than the length of any individual span. I don't believe the technology existed in 1967 to create a span almost two miles long (and doubt the practicality of such a span even today). I propose changing the span to indicate the longest single span of the bridge, which seems to be 750 feet [8]. Other bridges may be in need of similar editing, as well, since I believe the Akashi-Kaikyō Bridge has the longest span to date but this list shows it in third place. The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge information indicates the length of the floating section rather than the width of any individual span, which seems to be the intent of the span column, though I may be mistaken since there is a wiki page for List of longest suspension bridge spans. The floating bridge may actually be "correct" given the definition of "span" in the article, though I would contend that "support" would include floating support in most naive interpretations of span length. Any objections/counterarguments? LUxlii (talk) 20:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
The data for Seven Mile Bridge also conflicts with the wiki page for it.
10,887 m (35,719 ft) on this page versus 35,862 ft (10,931 m) on the Seven Mile Bridge page, though the info box on that page is consistent with this page.

The Verazanno (sp?) Narrows bridge is listed as "under construction" when it is not. It has been finished for decades, and is not in the midst of renovation, as far as I could find. Could someone please fix this? Kochamanita (talk) 03:08, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Given that all the entries have a listed length of 2000m+ I think the list would read easier if the length column was changed to be in km/miles. The longest bridge listed is 164,800 metres and readers should not have to convert themselves to calculate what this means in km. Also, the list is very long, and I would suggest the list cut-off is raised to 3km.Eldumpo (talk) 05:58, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Right now this list gives the total length of the Danyang-Kunshan bridge at 1,185,700 feet, which comes out to just a tad over 224 miles. While the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge article lists it at 102.4 miles. Seems to me that they can't both be right, but maybe I'm overlooking something. Please forgive my annoying use of customary -- I am both tragically inept at math, and tragically American. Evanh2008, Super Genius Who am I? You can talk to me... 09:09, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
The Frederick C. Malkus Jr. Bridge (more commonly known as the Choptank River Bridge) should be on the list, I suspect. It's about 2500 meters, estimating from Google Earth. But I don't have a citation or exact measurement. Can anyone find one?

Bridge - a structure carrying a pathway or roadway over a depression or obstacle
www.merriam-webster.com
A structure which exists primarily for grade-separation is a viaduct, not a bridge. There needs to be some specifically defined obstacle. Unless someone can come up with a reason why not, I am going to move all the viaducts to a separate category. I will leave some time for discussion.24.108.61.172 (talk) 22:20, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
There is an entry in the list with name "Kanpur over-bridge" and is linked to a wikipedia article with no citations and which has been marked for deletion. Not sure if this is a valid entry and if the bridge does exist, neither a google search nor a satellite imagery check for the bridge returned positive. It may be a hoax. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aerohari (talk • contribs) 04:52, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't know anybody who knows off the top of their head how long 540,700 feet and 373,000 feet are. But 102.4 miles and 70.6 miles are much more easily discernible. BTW, those mile distances and foot distances are the same (5280 feet = 1 mile). toll_booth (talk) 05:26, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Just wanted to know which bridges are the longest crossing any water body or connecting elevated landscapes but this article doesn't help at all; it has all viaducts related to high-speed rail, road highways or metro/subway systems. I don't think they qualify as bridges in general sense of the word or I maybe am wrong but at-least a new article is needed where the bridges are listed based on the a fore mentioned criteria. I couldn't find such an article but if there already is please provide the link here. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.83.229.152 (talk) 13:05, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

how come if you sort by length the 55km Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge shows as the *shortest* in the list?

Hong Kong is a semi-autonomous region of China. Due to historical reasons, many organisations and governments treat Hong Kong separately instead of China. This includes Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. Data of Hong Kong is also separate from China like GDP, Gini, HDI, and even count of coronavirus cases. Hong Kong has its own internet TLD, country code, passport, currency, official language and Olympic team which is so different from China. It is therefore not suitable to use the Chinese flag in Hong Kong buildings data as this is a common practice internationally. Changing the "country" column into "county/territory" or "country/region" isv also suitable in this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexanderlam128 (talk • contribs) 11:46, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
