List of longest bridges facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

This is a list of the world's longest bridges that are more than 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) in length sorted by their full length above land and water. The main span is the longest span without any ground support.

Note: There is no standard way to measure the total length of a bridge. Some bridges are measured from the beginning of the entrance ramp to the end of the exit ramp. Some are measured from shoreline to shoreline. Yet others use the length of the total construction involved in building the bridge. Since there is no standard, no ranking of a bridge should be assumed because of its position in the list. Additionally, numbers are merely estimates and measures in U.S. customary units (feet) may be imprecise due to conversion rounding.

Lake Pontchartrain by Sentinel-2
Satellite view of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in southeast Louisiana. Reported by Guinness World Records as the longest bridge over water (continuous). The Manchac Swamp Bridge can be seen on the left.
