List of longest suspension bridge spans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Akashi-Kaikyō Bridge has the longest central span of any suspension bridge

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 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.

Suspension bridges have the longest spans of any type of bridge. Cable-stayed bridges, the next longest design, are practical for spans up to around 1 km. Therefore the 15 longest bridges on this list are all currently the 15 longest spans of all types of vehicular bridges.

[edit] Completed suspension bridges

This list includes only completed suspension bridges that carry automobiles or trains. It does not include cable-stayed bridges, footbridges, or pipeline bridges.

span		 Status Notes
Sunda Strait Bridge Java to Sumatra, Indonesia about 3,000 m (9,800 ft) Preliminary work This project has been approved by the Indonesian government. If completed, it will not only be the world's longest suspension bridge (26 km), but will also have a main span of about 3,000 m (9,800 ft)—roughly fifty percent longer than the current record.[121]
Unnamed Qiongzhou Strait, China about 3,000 m (9,800 ft) Preliminary work A suspension bridge is being considered to cross the 22.5 km wide Qiongzhou Strait.[122] One design consists of four bridges strung together with four main spans of 2,000 m, two main-spans of 1,800 m, five anchorages and 10 towers.[123] If completed this bridge will assume six of the top seven longest spans.
Unnamed Aizhai Gorge in Hunan province, China 1,176 m (3,858 ft) Planned [124]
Chacao Channel bridge Chiloé to mainland Chile 1,100 m (3,600 ft) On hold This unusual design has two main spans of 1,055 m and 1,100 m without an anchorage between them. Construction was supposed to begin in 2007 and completed in 2012, but because of cost overruns, the project is now on hold.
Strait of Messina Bridge Sicily to mainland Italy 3,300 m (10,800 ft) Preliminary work The project was canceled on 11 October 2006 by the Romano Prodi-led government amid controversy concerning the bridge's cost and feared Mafia influence.[125] The new government from 2008 led by Silvio Berlusconi wants to pick up the project again. Preliminary works will begin in December 2009. The main construction is expected to begin in the 2010s.
Gibraltar Bridge Spain to Morocco  ? Proposed Some designs have suspension spans of several miles. The suspension cables of a very long bridge might be suspended from the ends of cable-stayed struts extending diagonally from huge pylons. However, as of 2008, the feasibility of a tunnel is being considered instead.
Hålogaland Bridge Narvik, Norway 1,345 m (4,413 ft) Plans under consideration The bridge will reduce the distance between Narvik and Bjerkvik by 17 km. The government of Norway has declared that it wants to build it, with construction to start possibly in 2011, and an opening date in 2015.[126] See no:Hålogalandsbrua.
Unnamed Halsafjord, Norway 2,000 m (6,600 ft) Proposed The bridge will replace a ferry, and reduce the driving time between Trondheim and Molde with 34 minutes.
Unnamed Istanbul, Turkey 1,500 m (4,900 ft) circa Bids for the project will be accepted by the Turkish Government on 10th of January 2012 It will be the third suspension bridge for crossing the Bosphorus as part of North Marmara Motorway.
