Suspension bridges, with their high towers and elegant spans(跨度), are achievements of engineering. This list covers the longest main spans of suspension bridges around the world, not longest total lengths, as those main central spans are where the real engineering magic happens.

Osman Gazi Bridge, Türkiye

The Osman Gazi Bridge is a splendid suspension bridge. The bridge was finished on July 1, 2016, and at the time, it was the longest suspension bridge in Türkiye and the fourth longest in the world by the length of its main central span, which measures 1,550 meters. It reduced travel time between Istanbul and Izmir from six hours to around five.

Great Belt Bridge, Denmark

The Great Belt Bridge connects the Danish islands Zealand and Funen. The suspension bridge has a total length of 6,790 meters and a main central span of 1,624 meters, making it the world's sixth longest main span—for now. It enabled a direct driving route from mainland Europe to Sweden through Denmark.

1915 Çanakkale Bridge, Türkiye

The bridge's construction, which began in March 2017 and concluded in March 2022, was ambitious from the get-go. Spanning the historic Dardanelles Strait in northwestern Türkiye, the 1915 Canakkale Bridge is a symbol of national pride. Officially the world's longest suspension bridge, it stretches a remarkable 2,023 meters in its main central span.

Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge, China

Opened to traffic in October 2019, the Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, is the longest suspension bridge in China and the third longest suspension in the world. It spans 1,700 meters across the famous Yangtze River. The bridge notably has the world's longest double-level bridge span, accommodating various forms of transportation on its two levels.
