The U.S. state of Florida, due to being a peninsula and its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, has many bridges of varying lengths. The longest bridge in the state is the Seven Mile Bridge located in the Florida Keys. This list includes overwater automobile bridges 2,640 feet (800 m) or longer.
Oldest bridge in UK with shops. High Bridge: Berkshire: Reading: 1788: across the River Kennet: High Level Bridge: Tyne and Wear: Newcastle upon Tyne: 1849: I: Road and rail bridge across the River Tyne: Hockenhull Platts: Cheshire: Tarvin: C18: II: Three footbridges across the River Gowy: Holgate Bridge: North Yorkshire: York: 1911: Crosses ...
Some bridges are measured from the beginning of the entrance ramp to the end of the exit ramp. Some are measured from shoreline to shoreline. Yet others use the length of the total construction involved in building the bridge. Since there is no standard, no ranking of a bridge should be assumed because of its position in the list.
Near the center, the bridge rises in an arc to provide 65-foot (20 m)-high clearance for boat passage. The remainder of the bridge is considerably closer to the water surface. The new bridge does not cross Pigeon Key. The total length of the new bridge is actually 35,862 ft (10,931 m) or 6.79 miles (10.93 km), and is shorter than the original.
The 230 metres (750 ft) main spans of the bridge are the longest concrete-only extradosed box-girder bridge spans in the world. The spans are equal in length to the main span of the N25 Suir Bridge in Waterford; and four metres shorter the main span of the Foyle Bridge in Northern Ireland, which is 21 metres shorter in total length. The two ...

Florida is mostly low-lying and flat as this topographic map shows. Lake Okeechobee, the largest lake in Florida, is the tenth-largest natural freshwater lake among the 50 states of the United States and the second-largest natural freshwater lake contained entirely within the contiguous 48 states, after Lake Michigan.

The world's longest suspension bridges are listed according to the length of their main span (i.e., the length of suspended roadway between the bridge's towers). 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.
