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 1 kilometre. Therefore, as of 2021, the 31 longest bridges on this list are the 31 longest spans of all types of vehicular bridges (other than floating pontoon bridges).

Currently, 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 ft).

Completed suspension bridges[edit]

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.

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.[89] Dynamited by Chinese soldiers after the Battle of Chamdo in 1950.[90]
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) 1903–1926 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
Humber Bridge Yorkshire,  UK 1,410 m (4,630 ft) 1981–1998 Also the longest bridge span in the world from 1981 to 1998
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.
