List of highest bridges

For a list of the tallest bridges (ranked by the height of the bridge structure), see List of tallest bridges in the world.

A list of highest bridges in the world, ranked by the height of the deck over the ground or water below. Building a bridge very high in the air, such as across a deep valley, adds to the complexity of its design and construction.

Most bridges which span a deep valley are not very tall. The bridge structure is often built atop the sides of the valley, resulting in towers that do not extend very far below the deck. Bridges with the tallest structure (including height above the deck) do not have the highest deck height, so those are listed separately. Some of the highest bridges listed here may also be among the tallest, adding to their complexity. The tallest bridge in the world, the Millau Viaduct, is an example of a bridge that is both high and tall.
