  • Notes
  1. ^ The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge held the record of the longest bridge span in the world from 1964 to 1981.[1]
  2. ^ At the time of its opening in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge was the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world,[4] titles it held until 1964 and 1998 respectively. The American Society of Civil Engineers named it one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World,[5] and it was declared California Historical Landmark in 1987.[6]
  3. ^ The George Washington Bridge was the first bridge span to reach a length of over one kilometer, it was the longest main bridge span in the world from its 1931 opening until the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco opened in 1937.[13] It was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1981.[13]
  4. ^ The Ambassador Bridge became the longest span in the world in 1929 until 1931,[33] it surpassed the record of the Quebec Bridge in Canada and since that date the record for longest bridge span has only been held by suspension bridges.
  5. ^ From 1926 to 1929, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge had the longest span of any suspension bridge in the world.[37]
  6. ^ The New River Gorge Bridge was the world's longest arch bridge for 26 years, until the opening of the Lupu Bridge in China, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[38]
  7. ^ When completed in 1931, the Bayonne Bridge was the longest steel arch bridge in the world, it was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1985.[40]
  8. ^ The Bear Mountain Bridge broke the record of the longest suspension bridge from 1924 to 1926,[48] it was added to the National Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks in 1986[48] and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[49]
  9. ^ The Williamsburg Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world from 1903 until 1924,[53] it was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 2009.[53]
  10. ^ Former railroad bridge designed by John A. Roebling, it was the longest span in the world at the time of its opening[58] and has been designated a National Historic Landmark, a New York City landmark in 1967,[59] a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972[58] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.[60]
