List of longest suspension bridge spans

The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey, opened in 2022, has the longest central span (2,023 m) of any suspension bridge. It crosses the Dardanelles in Turkey.

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 the 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. ^[4] If one bridge has a longer span than another, it does not necessarily mean that the bridge is longer from shore to shore (or from abutment to abutment).

Suspension bridges have the longest spans of any type of bridge. Cable-stayed bridges, the next longest design, are practical for spans up to just over one kilometre (the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world has a 1,104 m span). Therefore, as of October 2025, the 28 longest bridges on this list are the 28 longest spans of all types of vehicular bridges (other than floating pontoon bridges).

The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey holds the record since opening to traffic in March 2022, with a span of 2,023 metres (6,637 ft). ^{[1] [3]} Since 1998, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan previously held the record with a span of 1,991 metres (6,532 feet), the Zhangjinggao Yangtze River Bridge in China will break the record in 2028 while the Strait of Messina Bridge in Italy will go to the top of the list in 2032.

Completed suspension bridges

This list includes only completed suspension bridges that carry automobiles or trains that are at least 1,000 m (3,300 ft) long. It does not include cable-stayed bridges, footbridges, or pipeline bridges.

History of longest suspension spans

Photo	Bridge	Location	Length m (ft)	Years of longest span	Notes
Hypothesized support	Maya Bridge at Yaxchilan	Mexico	62 m (203 ft)	600–1430	Hemp-rope simple suspension footbridge. Existence unproven. No longer standing. Prior longest bridges are located in List of longest arch bridge spans. Exceeded by the masonry arch Trezzo sull'Adda Bridge from 1377 to 1416, with main span of 72 m.
	Chushul Chakzam	Tibet,  China	137 m (449 ft)	1430–1820	Chain suspension footbridge south of Lhasa, built by Thangtong Gyalpo. Reported by British spies to still be in use in 1878. Later (before 1904) fell into disuse after river course changed, swamping the northern end. [90] Dynamited by Chinese soldiers after the Battle of Chamdo in 1950. [91]
	Union Chain Bridge	Scotland–England,  UK	137 m (449 ft)	1820–1826	The oldest in the world still in use today.
	Menai Suspension Bridge	Wales,  UK	176 m (577 ft)	1826–1834
	Great Suspension Bridge	Fribourg,   Switzerland	271 m (889 ft)	1834–1849	The bridge was replaced by the Zähringen Bridge  [ de ] in the 1920s.
	Wheeling Suspension Bridge	West Virginia,  US	308 m (1,010 ft)	1849–1866	The longest deck span from 1849 until 1866, and the oldest vehicular suspension bridge in use in the United States until 2019.
	Queenston-Lewiston Bridge	US and  Canada	317 m (1,040 ft)	1851–1866	The longest cable span from 1851 until it was destroyed by wind in 1864. However, the road deck span was only 258 meters long.
	John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge	Kentucky–Ohio,  US	322 m (1,056 ft)	1866–1869
	Niagara Clifton Bridge	US and  Canada	384 m (1,260 ft)	1869–1883	Replaced in 1899.
	Brooklyn Bridge	New York City,  US	486 m (1,594 ft)	1883–1903
	Williamsburg Bridge	New York City,  US	488 m (1,601 ft)	1903–1924	It was the longest suspension span but not the longest span of all bridges. The Forth Bridge, completed in 1890, a cantilever bridge with two spans of 521 m was longer until surpassed by the Quebec Bridge in 1917.
	Bear Mountain Bridge	New York,  US	497 m (1,631 ft)	1924–1926	It was the longest suspension span but not the longest span of all bridges. The Quebec Bridge completed in 1917, a cantilever bridge with a span of 549 m was longer until surpassed in 1929 by the Ambassador Bridge. The first suspension bridge to have a concrete deck. The construction methods pioneered in building it would make possible several much larger projects to follow.
	Benjamin Franklin Bridge	Pennsylvania–New Jersey,  US	533 m (1,749 ft)	1926–1929	It was the longest suspension span but not the longest span of all bridges.
	Ambassador Bridge	US and  Canada	564 m (1,850 ft)	1929–1931	Since this bridge was built, the record for longest bridge span has only been held by suspension bridges.
	George Washington Bridge	New York – New Jersey,  US	1,067 m (3,501 ft)	1931–1937	The first span longer than 1 km. Nearly double the length of any previously built bridge at the time of its opening.
	Golden Gate Bridge	California,  US	1,280 m (4,200 ft)	1937–1964	Also the longest bridge span in the world from 1937 to 1964
	Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge	New York City,  US	1,298 m (4,259 ft)	1964–1981	Also the longest bridge span in the world from 1964 to 1981

	Akashi Kaikyo Bridge	Japan	1,991 m (6,532 ft)	1998–2022	Also the longest bridge span in the world from 1998 to 2022. The largest ever increase in length.
	Çanakkale 1915 Bridge	Turkey	2,023 m (6,637 ft)	2022–Present	The longest bridge span in the world since 2022. The first span longer than 2 km.
