List of longest suspension bridge spans

The world's longest suspension bridges are listed according to the length of their main span. The length of the main span is the most common method of comparing the sizes of suspension bridges, often correlating with the height of the towers and the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge. If one bridge has a longer span than another, it does not necessarily mean that the bridge is longer from shore to shore.

Completed suspension bridges
This list includes only completed suspension bridges that carry automobiles or trains that are at least long. It does not include cable-stayed bridges, footbridges, or pipeline bridges. ==Bridges under construction==
