What about the Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge?[edit]

The Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge in China appears to have a continuous truss structure of at least 570m. Its central arch and two side arches are all connected by a truss structure. ContinentalAve (talk) 05:46, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the Sciotoville Bridge not listed as the 21st longest?[edit]

The Sciotoville Bridge is listed as the world record holder from 1916 to 1945 at 775 feet. This is longer than several of the bridges in the list of the world's longest. Shouldn't it be listed there as well? Eljefe3126 (talk) 07:13, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]


What about the Anghel Saligny Bridge?[edit]

The Anghel Saligny Bridge in Romania appears to have a length of 4,087.95 m (13,411.9 ft) don't know how to calculate the truss structure size. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.122.53.196 (talk) 14:20, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What about the Hart Bridge?[edit]

There appears to be confusion in different Wikipedia articles on whether the Hart Bridge is a continuous truss or cantilever structure (maybe it has elements of both?). It appears in the list here but not in the list in the continuous truss bridges article. That list gives a linked PDF of longest bridge spans where it is shown as a cantilever span rather than continuous truss. Hyperman 42 (talk) 12:23, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Demolished bridges[edit]

The Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore) was destroyed by a barge. Its information was removed by multiple editors from the list with the heading "List ranked by length of main span" and under "List ranked by total length".

This is a current event, so visitors are eager to read about the bridge which is linked from the bridge's article. For now, I'm going to put it back and add notes that it is demolished.

The proposal is to list demolished bridges under a #Demolished bridges section. It doesn't exist, yet. It's commented out at the moment. For now, I'll just put the bridge back in the lists with a note about its status and a link to the new article on its collapse. — Ashawley (talk) 19:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
