List of longest arch bridge spans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Najro (talk | contribs) at 10:37, 14 June 2008 (→Completed bridges). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This list of the largest arch bridges ranks the world's arch bridges by the length of their main span. The length of the main span is the most common way to rank arch bridges. 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 anchorage to anchorage. The size of the main span may not always correlate with the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge. However, the total length of bridges cannot be compared as there is no standard way to measure the total length of a bridge.
