List of Largest Cable-stayed Bridges - Longest Cable-stayed Decks

Longest Cable-stayed Decks

The definition of cable-stayed deck length that here has been selected is: A continuous part of the bridge deck that is supported only by stay-cables and pylons, or are free spans. This means that columns supporting the side span as for example found in Pont de Normandie, excludes most of the side span decks from the cable-stayed deck length.

Note that there are some bridges with long decks whose all span lengths have not been published, and therefore are missing. Decks exceeding 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) are:

Famous quotes containing the words longest and/or decks:

    “I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth & yet last the longest in the dust.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “From the time the Englishman’s bones harden into bones at all, he makes his skeleton a flagstaff, and he early plants his feet like one who is to walk the world and the decks of all the seas.”
    —Willa Cather (1876–1947)
