About This Dataset
Longest Bridges in the World
The world's longest bridges ranked by total span length in kilometres. China dominates this list almost entirely, having constructed the vast majority of the world's mega-bridge projects since 2000 as part of an infrastructure investment programme of unprecedented scale. The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge, which carries the Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway, is longer than the distance from London to Paris.
Analysis
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge (China) heads the table on 164.8, ahead of Changhua-Kaohsiung Viaduct (Taiwan) (157.3) and Cangde Grand Bridge (China) (115.9) in Length (km). 126.2 separates the highest figure (164.8) from the lowest (38.6) in Length (km). First and second are separated by 7.50, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Only 4 of the 8 reach even half the leader's figure (82.4 or more).
