Transportation: The top 5 longest bridges in the world
Top 1: The Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge is the world's longest bridge. It is a 164.8 kilometres long via duct on the Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway.
The bridge is located between Shanghai and Nanjing in East China’s
Jiangsu province. It includes a 9-kilometre long section over water that
crosses Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou. It is located in the Yangtze River
Delta where the geography is characterized by lowland rice paddies,
rivers and lakes. The bridge runs roughly parallel and ten or so miles
to the south of the Yangtze River. It was completed in 2010 and opened
in 2011. Employing 10,000 people, construction took four years and cost
about US$8.5 billion. Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge currently holds the
Guinness World Record for the longest bridge in the world in any
category as of June 2011.
Top 2: Tianjin Grand Bridge is a railway via duct bridge that runs between Langfang and Qingxian, part of the Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway.
It is one of the longest bridges in the world with a total length of about 113.7 kilometres .
It was completed in 2010 and opened in 2011. As of 2011 Guinness World
Records recorded it as the second longest bridge in the world.
Top 3: The Weinan Weihe Grand Bridge is a part of the Zhengzhou–Xi'an High-Speed Railway which connects Zhengzhou and Xi'an, in China.
The bridge is 79.732 Kilometres long crossing the Wei River
twice, as well as many other rivers, highways and railways. Upon its
completion, it was the longest bridge in the world, but surpassed by two
new bridges on Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway that completed in
2010.
The bridge was completed in 2008 but the railway line itself did not
open until February 6, 2010.
Top 4: The Bang Na Expressway (full name: Bang Na - Bang Phli - Bang Pakong Expressway), officially named Burapha Withi Expressway
, is a 54.0 Kilometres long six-lane elevated highway in
Thailand. It is a toll road and runs above National Highway route 34,
(Bang Na–Bang Pakong Highway) owned by the Expressway Authority of
Thailand (EXAT).
The highway is elevated onto a viaduct that has an average span length
of 42 meters. It is a 27-meter wide box girder bridge and was completed
in January 2000. It took 1,800,000 cubic meters of concrete to build the
bridge. The structure was built using a design-build contracting method
and was designed by Jean Muller International.
There are two toll plazas on the elevated structure where the structure
must widen to accommodate twelve lanes.
It is often considered to be one of the longest bridges in the world
(until 2010 the longest) but it is excluded from some lists since it
does not cross a body of water for most of its length. The most major
body of water that it crosses is the Bang Pakong River.
Top 5: Beijing Grand Bridge is a 48.153 kilometres long railway via duct on the Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway, located in Beijing.
It was completed in 2010 and opened in 2011.
