List of longest cable-stayed bridge spans

The Tatara Bridge has the largest span among cable-stayed bridges

This list of the largest cable-stayed bridges ranks the world's cable-stayed bridges by the length of main span (distance between the suspension towers). The length of the main span is the most common way to rank cable-stayed bridges. If one bridge has a longer span than another it does not mean that the bridge is the longer from shore to shore or from anchorage to anchorage. However, the size of the main span does often correlate with the height of the towers and the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge.

Cable-stayed bridges with more than three spans are generally more complex, and bridges of this type generally represent a more notable engineering achievement even where their spans are shorter.

Cable-stayed bridges have the second-longest spans (after suspension bridges) of the types of bridge. They are practical for spans up to around 1 kilometer (0.6 mi). The Tatara Bridge has the largest span of any cable-stayed bridge at Template:M to ft. It was originally planned as a suspension bridge, but the design was changed to a cable-stayed bridge for environmental reasons. Two cable-stayed bridges with even longer spans, are currently under construction in China. The longest of these, Sutong Bridge, Template:M to ft will be longer than all but the top twelve bridges on the list of largest suspension bridges.
