Bridges have long been celebrated for their ability to connect distant lands and overcome geographical barriers. Some bridges, however, push the boundaries of length, spanning incredible distances over land or water. Join us for today's video, as we explore the top 15 longest bridges ever built.

It's incredible that you may live on Earth your entire life and never see or even hear about these bridges.
Its amazing you could live all your life on earth and never see let alone hear of these bridges
Sometimes before sleeping at night i think to myself... hmm i wonder when I can go to these bridges
Crazy that 4 are in China and 3 in Louisiana
FYI you showed both Chesapeake bay bridges. The high one is the MD bay bridge which has no tunnels. The Virginia Chesapeake bay bridge is the long one with the tunnels.
I went over/under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel in the mid 80's. The person I was with could not be convinced we were in a tunnel under the water.
@@allcreaturesgreatandsmall5956 I went over it last month, it is so long and boring I wouldn't do it again if I had a choice haha.
I love what our species is capable of with respect to technology and engineering. Seeing what we have achieved makes me admire humankind. I focus on the positives rather than the negatives.
Pontchartrain Causeway was a great part of a 2013 road trip to New Orleans.
How long do you keep your hair? I admire ladies that grow theirs to luxurious lengths, describe it and how it looks?
There are two Chesapeake Bay Bridges in Maryland. You showed both of them when talking about the one. I live bear the shorter one.
I don't trust a bridge in that place.. imagine building a bridge if your being a cheapaskate
Longest bridges in the world... and 11 days ago we had biggest bridges in the world, wow big difference... good to see them offering variety
Some of the footage used to represent the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel, located at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, was actually of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, located in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
I noticed that too.
Just a friendly suggestion. You should organize these lists so they have an order to them. For example, with this list, you should do a countdown from 15, the shortest bridge on the list, to 1, the longest. Not just place them in any random order, like these lists are.
he did
😂😂 🤭man
Really like the part on the Sheik Zayed bridge with “3 lanes in each direction” and the video of not-that-bridge clearly shows 3 in one direction and 4 in the other. And yeah - wrong Chesapeake bridge shown.
I remember traveling on the Chesapeake Bay bridge it is long.
You definitely deserve round of applause for pronouncing them bridges names
Huge thank you for including metric units!
It's CRAZY that app these countries have modern bridges & roads, sometimes brought to you by U.S., yet the U.S. roads are HORRIBLE & so outdated. Yet we got the bill for "gkobal" bridges. CRAZY!
I see Louisiana made the list 3 times. Proud of my state. Drove all the bridges and they're a sight to see.
People who live in Louisiana are apparently among the happiest of Americans if I recall correctly from a study I read.
😊and all the engineers ignored the 8 inches per mile squared radius of the round earth theory
That was my comment too. Interesting isn’t it?
Flat earth guys. It's sad pple still deny it.
Nice pic dear 😻
Some exquisite engineering but I won't travel any of those bridges. I like to stay on the ground.
Bridges.. Theyre ground level dude.. you don't need s passport to get on a bridge
Im happy to see 18:56 Philippines Metro Manila Skyway hopefully Philippines 🇵🇭 can build more longest sea bridges because of our archipelagic country hopefully soon the Manila Bataan Bridges and the bridges can connect Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao once we have this we can boosted our economy and development
These megaprojects are shaping the cities of the future
The ninth video should be the Jiaozhou Bay Cross-Sea Bridge in Qingdao, China.
Man these architect's make me feel so stupid.
Two weeks after Christmas about 30 years ago I got stuck on Atchafalaya Basin Bridge (what the signs on the bridge call what you call Louisiana Airborne Memorial Bridge) for over 24 hours when 2 18-wheelers collided turning them over blocking all lanes including the shoulder lane. I am glad I carry emergency supplies. Did not have any way to use the bathroom so I walked over to the side of the bridge and relived my bladder. Being a diabetic I was unable to hold it. I now have a hospital style urinal in with my emergency supplies. I was able to hold the other side.
The high masts on cable bridges aren't just there for the asthenic look they give, but to help guide the vessels coming in at night and during low visibility. I have crossed the Mackinaw bridge many times. "Big Mack" we call it in Michigan, 😉 Crossed in a car, on foot, and underneath on snowmobile. Never on a boat though.
Well lucky because you are waiting till you get the right ho for your boat.. can't have boats n hoes without a ho
Nice video, BUT I would have focussed more on sightings, with video testimonials. In fact, MY VIDEO shows REALLY Happened moments, recorded live!!!
Great video, these videos are for cool guys only frfr it's only for people who love architecture and whomsoever are cool guys up in this mother frfr and it's not like my cat Riker can even do anything frfr
That's insane
Man I instantly saw this and said "NOPE" Lol. These are some looooong bridges. You know I just might take a chance on "SOME" of these lol.
Wow 👍👍👍
I drove the third largest bridge mentioned here for the first time in my life and promised myself that I would never do it again! I also noticed you did not mention the fact that you failed to mention the portion of that bridge is definitely a tunnel, and you're actually driving under water! It was my first day as a professional Tractor Trailer Driver. I had a DEATH GRIP ON THE STIRRING WHEEL AND BLISTERS IN MY HANDS WHEN I MADE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE.I am not a person who had the privelege of learning how to swim, so please understand my comment of NEVER doing it again! 😂🤣😂
I drove a tractor trailer over the manchac swamp bridge and the atchafalaya basin bridge in back to back days as I had to deliver to the Galatasaray chemical plant in Taft Louisiana then deadhead to Houston the next day and let me tell you I am glad I haven't seen either bridge since
I completely understand!!! I live on MD Eastern Shore and have traveled the Chesapeake Bridge Tunnels to VA to visit family. I Do Not trust those Tunnels!!! Or the bridge😮
Praise the lord
Praise Lucifer and the Celtic gods
The Metro Manila Skyway was constructed by segments, the first one was in 1995 and the final segment completed in 2021 Currently, the longest flyover in Southeast Asia was Bang Na Expressway in Thailand, followed by Metro Manila Skyway and MBZ Skyway
Hello from PG, MY..sadly less ppl use this bridge..😂
The 2nd Penang island bridge is called E28 Jambatan Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah
You showed the wrong footage for the CBBT Virginia, the footage you shared was the Maryland Bay bridge.
Where is Dhaka Elevated Express way of Bangladesh??? It will be the longer than Bangna express way of Bangladesh....
What the name of the bridge? 😮
At NO. 9, the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, the video is actually the ShanDong Highway JiaoZhou Bay Bridge, as it clearly says in the captions. Not sure how accurate other images and videos are though, especially the ones not in America.
We have it here in the Philippines, the Cervantes bridge but longest in years before it is finished, its almost took 4 decades😂😂😂

The Chesapeake Bay bridge is in my home state of Virginia. Not Maryland.
@@andremiller1566 incorrect; Highway 50/301 takes one to the Chesapeake Bay bridge further up into the Chesapeake Bay, between Maryland eastern and western shores. You must be thinking of the smaller Virginia bridge on highway 13 between Norfolk and Cape Charles, much further down the Chesapeake.
In the Philippines, and Indonesia, it has a potential to build a bridge even longer than Hong Kong - Zhuhai Bridge, Mindoro-Palawan Bridge alone, when completed by 2049, it will surpass Hong Kong - Macau - Zhuhai Bridge, and building this hundred-km long feat will be more, and more challenging. Another bridge in making in my country: Bataan-Cavite bridge. 2nd San Juanico Bridge, when built between 2020s to 2040s, it will alleviate pressure too, on the 1st San Juanico Bridge, like the 2nd Penang Bridge did.
@@brad4texas The Virginia Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is 17 miles long sir. That Maryland bridge is a puny 4 miles long. I'm literally from Cape Charles and a big portion of my family lives in Norfolk. My step father and cousin worked on that bridge.
Hey! Our Bay Bridge is shorter but we’re cooler😅
Makes you wonder if the world holds that like of money? If so, why don't they provide needs of the people?
Why Hong Kong bridge is ranked 15 of the world ?
Because Hong Kong took too long to sing a song and be made... not anonymous as in non anom
How long will it last
Why did you show so many pictures of the Bay Bridge while talking about the Bay Bridge Tunnel?
👍👍👍👍👍
Highway or lailway above the land is a bridge?
I love the cays one, One time as a prank I invited my freinds on a drive started driving from Honda cay and pre recorded a news report they were nuking Florida.. I had a freind behind me drive and as the recording progressed I said oh no don't look back, and my freind behind threw a flash bang at ground My passengers looked back and temporarily blinded and started screaming Ah fun days
Imagine having to use the bathroom on some of these bridges…
Hey
Jesus And god AMAN🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank Lucifer
@@TheRavenLord1😂😂😂
“God” is written with a capital G, and it’s AMEN not “aman” 😅😂
God and Jesus Amen!
So we could build a bridge from Florida to Cuba 9pm e a colony
Flat Earthers are like: did they compensate for the curvature of the Earth?…and guess what, that’s a good question actually.
I don't know how this is still a thing.. everyone can see the moon is round, the sun is round and it can't be that hard to realise when your on a mountain or building you can only see so far
Wong the larger bridge is in usa
Portchatrain lake Bridge in usa is largerts
I can't help but wonder what's going to happen if there's an accident or a car fire on any of these extreme structures...
They pull over like normal, and other people help...
I don't know what you expected a team a to rock up and assist?
Tyler Mac this is at sunny day
Flat Earth?
Round moon
And God or Jesus
Railway is not a bridge
Bridge is not a railway... however.. until it is
You really talk much than the subject.
I still can’t see the bridge, I think you need 5-6 more useless thumbnail arrows!
