The Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge has the largest span of any bridge

This 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.
