The Long River Bridge or Longjiang Bridge (龙江特大桥) is a suspension bridge near Baoshan, Yunnan, China. The main span of the bridge is 1,196 m (3,924 ft) making it one of the longest ever built. [2] The bridge is also one of the highest in world sitting 280 m (920 ft) above the river below. The bridge started construction on August 2 ...
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.

The Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge is a suspension bridge in Wuhan, Hubei, China. It opened to traffic on October 8, 2019 and is the third longest suspension bridge span in the world and overall the longest in China. The bridge spans 1,700 metres (5,577.4 feet; 1.1 miles) across the Yangtze River.
China has been pushing the boundaries of bridge construction with many record breaking bridges, including: The Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge, the world's longest bridge measuring over 164 kilometres (102 mi). [1] The Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, the third-longest suspension bridge span.

The south bridge is a suspension bridge with a main span of 1,490 metres (4,888 ft). Upon its completion in 2005 it became the third longest suspension bridge span in the world and the largest in China. With the opening of the Xihoumen Bridge in 2007, it became the second longest span in China. It is now the ninth longest in the world.
The bridge is fitted with several measures such as dampers and tensioners to reduce deformation from wind, which would inhibit high-speed rail operation. The anchors of the bridge are of the largest ever built as a caisson , measuring 7,260 m 2 (78,100 sq ft), and weighing 1.33 megatonnes (2.9 × 10 9 lb). [ 4 ]
