• Notes

1. The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge held the record of the longest bridge span in the world from 1964 to 1981. ^[1]
2. At the time of its opening in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge was the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world, ^[4] titles it held until 1964 and 1998 respectively. The American Society of Civil Engineers named it one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World, ^[5] and it was declared California Historical Landmark in 1987. ^[6]
3. The George Washington Bridge was the first bridge span to reach a length of over one kilometer, it was the longest main bridge span in the world from its 1931 opening until the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco opened in 1937. ^[13] It was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1981. ^[13]
4. The Ambassador Bridge became the longest span in the world in 1929 until 1931, ^[33] it surpassed the record of the Quebec Bridge in Canada and since that date the record for longest bridge span has only been held by suspension bridges.
5. From 1926 to 1929, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge had the longest span of any suspension bridge in the world. ^[37]
