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. If one bridge has a longer span th
Abstract Recently, bridges are becoming longer, wider and more sophisticated in China and over the world, in particular, with longer span length or so-called long span bridges.
This list of the longest arch bridge spans ranks the world''s arch bridges by the length of their main span. The length of the main span is the most common way

The Changtai Yangtze River Bridge, which is under construction in Nanjing, China, will set a new record with an anticipated span of 1176 m after completion.
Therefore, long-span bridges are necessary in some major engineering projects crossing valleys, rivers, or canals. Girder bridges, arch bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and suspension bridges are
Some design aspects common to long-span CSBs and suspension bridges, will be presented along with modern solutions, current research, and future development on the aerodynamic stability of decks
Therefore, there still exists genuine demand for the construction of record-shattering long-span bridges, and bridge engineers will have to grapple with new unique challenges, such as
