15 LARGEST Mega Bridges in the World

The creation of large highways, expansive train networks, and budding metropolises is often not possible without the help of bridges. After all, by connecting land masses over giant canyons, rivers, oceans, lakes, and fjords, they facilitate the movement of people and materiel from place to place and drive the economy. However, while there are countless small bridges out there, there are some that are a little more impressive than others. So today, prepare to be amazed as we count down the Top 15 Largest Mega Bridges on Earth!

I’m so happy the thumbnail had not one but two arrows so I knew exactly where to look

The primer on the Golden Gate bridge is called International Orange.

My bro always had a fear of travelling on bridges over water. He's now designing them as a civil engineer

[ginaperry]

Yes & how many poor people suffered because of them? (Where did the billions come from to build them? Speaking of China.

Always the tops on “Top Fives, ” so I wonder “where’s all of the money, & time” invested into these super structures, until I see these bridges!

Incredible how many of the bridges on this list would need to be combined to be as long as Big Mac

Confederation Bridge should be mentioned as well.

[SatishKumar-hixy]

What about 20 kilometres sea link/Atal bridge Mumbai India?

[saiyongdawn]

Never cared for bridges. Hate traveling over them or under them. One of the worst bridges for me is riding over that long bridge traveling to NYC. Thankfully it's very rare that I travel to the city. 😣

Missing is the longest single cantilevered span bridge, in Quebec city over the St Lawrence seaway, and the longest covered bridge in New Brunswick.

[bradleyriedelallieriedel]

You said the longest suspension bridge is less than 5, 00 feet. Not even close to the Mackinaw Bridge of Michigan. It is 5 miles long!

[QueenieMaeXO_]

I thought the Tower Bridge was gonna make this list or the tallest bridge in France. Viaduc de Millau Bridge aka the Millau Viaduct Bridge.

[redwingfanchris]

Forgot about the 26 mile long Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel

[tage.]

What about France's Millau Viaduct? It's a spectacular bridge any day better than the 1st contender.

2:42 Wow. I was actually going to say, ‘I wonder how many people actually died building these things.’ China is sort of notorious for building such large monuments and not really caring about how many lives it takes to get there. They remind me of the Ancient Egyptians. Very much so.
