Longest Bridges in the World

About This Dataset

Every bridge in the top four carries high-speed rail across soft or flood-prone ground, which is why they run so long: a continuous viaduct proved cheaper and more stable than raising embankments. The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge on the Beijing-Shanghai line stretches 164.8 km, more than four times the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, which remains the longest bridge over open water.
