    Bridges are considered one of the most prominent evidences of the architectural creativity of human beings. Those great ones, do you know what are the longest bridges in the world?


    The longest bridges in the world
    Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in China
    You only have a sense of awe when watching the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in China, which is the longest bridge in the world with a length of 165 kilometers, and a height of nearly 100 meters above the ground.






    The construction of this huge bridge took nearly four years, to be officially opened in 2011. It is located between Shanghai and Nanjing in Jiangsu Province, and runs parallel to the Yangtze River, passing through rice fields and a number of lakes and other wet channels. As for the cost of its construction, it amounted to about $ 8.5 billion, according to the Britannica website.

    It is reported that this bridge was built in order to provide high-speed rail service along China. It was designed to withstand hurricanes and earthquakes with a magnitude of 8 on the Richter scale, and it can also withstand direct shocks from marine vessels weighing more than 330,000 tons.


    Changhua-Kaohsiung Bridge in Taiwan
    The second largest bridge in the world is located in Taiwan, and it bears the name of the Changhua-Kahsiung Bridge, and its length is 157 kilometers.

    This bridge consists of a series of small interconnecting bridges, and is part of the Taiwan high-speed rail network. The bridge was built in the form of a series of bridges. In order to increase its ability to withstand earthquakes.

    It is natural for designers to think about safety first, especially since Taiwan is located at the meeting point of two tectonic plates, the Philippine plate and the Eurasian plate, which means high seismic activity there.

    The Great Kangdi Bridge in China
    We return to China again, which also ranked third in the list of the longest bridges in the world.

    The Kangde Grand Bridge is 116 kilometers long. It is part of the main railway that transports people to and from Beijing, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway. It is also part of the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.

    Like the rest of the Beijing-Shanghai railway, the Kangdi Grand Bridge was designed to be robust enough to withstand seismic movements.

    Tianjin Grand Bridge in China
    As it is clear, China has the lion's share in this list, as the Tianjin Grand Bridge ranks fourth.

    The Tianjin Grand Bridge is located in Tianjin City, Hebei Province, China. The bridge was opened in 2011, and its length reaches 113 km, and it depends on a series of supported beams, each of which weighs 860 tons.

    It is no wonder that China is so interested in bridges, as the series of bridges built by the Chinese government maintain the Chinese high-speed railway traffic system, and also shorten the time spent by passengers on their journeys. The series of bridges also allow trains to traverse low areas, bodies of water, and other obstacles.

    Yinan-Weihe Grand
    Bridge in China The Yanan-Weihe Grand Bridge in China held the title of "the longest bridge in the world", with a length of approximately 79 km, when it opened in 2008, and was later overtaken by the Chinese bridges as well as Danyang-Kunshan Great, Changhua-Kaoxiong and Kangde Grand and big tianjin.

    The Yan'an-Weihe Bridge was an engineering marvel that dazzled the world. When it opened, as part of the Zhengzhou-Xi'an high-speed railway system, the bridge played a vital role in linking Zhengzhou and Xi'an by traversing a number of rivers and greatly reducing travel times.

    Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in China
    The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge became the sixth largest bridge in the world as soon as it opened in October 2018. The bridge connects the cities of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau, and consists of a series of three cable-stayed bridges. an undersea tunnel, and four artificial islands.

    The length of the bridge is 55 km, and it is the longest bridge across the sea and the longest fixed bridge in the open sea in the world.

    Bang Na Highway in Thailand
    The Bang Na Highway might be the seventh longest bridge in the world, but it ranks second on the list of the longest vehicular bridge in the world. Five of the six longest bridges in the world are used exclusively for railways, while the sixth bridge on this list is used exclusively for vehicular traffic.

    Bang Na Road is a six-lane elevated highway, with toll stations at the end in both directions. The road stretches for 55 kilometers and allows travelers to cycle over Bangkok without getting stuck in the traffic of Bang Na-Trat Road below.

    Beijing Grand Bridge in China
    Located south of its namesake city of Beijing, the Beijing Grand Bridge is part of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail system. The Beijing Grand Bridge was officially opened in 2011, and its length is 48 km, ranking eighth in the world in terms of length.

    The bridge was built to connect the two regions of the Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Economic Belt on the east coast of China, and both regions need rail transportation in order to export the supplies of their agricultural and natural resources, according to what was reported on the American website How Stuff Works

    Lake Pontchartrain Bridge in the United States
    Apart from China and Thailand, which occupies the lead in this list, the United States comes in ninth place and competes with the Lake Pontchartrain Bridge located in southern Louisiana, which extends along 39 km.

    The Lake Pontchartrain Bridge consists of two parallel bridges of the same length, the first of which was opened in 1956 and the second in 1969. Car passengers are unable to see the land from both sides of the bridge. The bridge is so long that the Guinness Book of Records considers it the "longest continuous bridge over water in the world," and it also contains a drawbridge that rises from the middle to allow ships to cross.

    Line 1 of the Wuhan Metro in China
    This suspended subway line is located in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, and is simply named Line 1. Nor does the regular name suggest that Line 1 actually holds a world record. It extends for a distance of 38 km, and is the tenth longest bridge in the world, and one of the longest bridges connected to metro trains in the world.

    The longest bridges in the Middle East
    There are also amazing bridges in the Middle East in terms of extension, foremost of which is the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Bridge in Kuwait, which was opened in 2019 and cost $3.6 billion, while its construction took four years.

    It includes approximately 49 km of bridges and road works. The bridge was designed to connect Kuwait City to the massive Silk City project, according to ehsanbayat.

    We also have the King Fahd Causeway, which connects Bahrain to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through a series of five bridges supported by seven artificial islands, and extends 24 kilometers across the Arabian Gulf. It was opened in 1986 after it took 4 years to build.

    Also in Kuwait, there are two of the longest bridges in the East. They are the Gamal Abdel Nasser Bridge with a length of 20 kilometers and a cost of $870 million, and the Bubiyan Island Railway Bridge, which was built with the aim of developing the Silk City in Kuwait.

    In Iran, we also find the Meshkin Shahr Bridge in Ardabil Governorate, which emerged as the longest suspension bridge in the Middle East at a height of 80 meters, and it was opened in 2015.
