Top 10 largest suspension bridges in the world

This 10 list of the largest suspension bridges ranks the world's suspension bridges by the length of main span (distance between the suspension towers). While length of main span is the most common method of comparing the sizes of suspension bridges, this measure does not take into account length from shore to shore or from anchorage to anchorage. However, the size of the main span does often correlate with the height of the towers and the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge.

This list only includes bridges that carry automobiles or trains. It does not include cable-stayed bridges, footbridges or pipeline bridges.
