List of longest arch bridge spans
This list of the longest arch bridge spans ranks the world's arch bridges by the length of their main span. The length of the main span is the most common way to rank bridges as it usually correlates with the engineering complexity involved in designing and constructing the bridge.[1] If one bridge has a longer span than another it does not necessarily mean that the bridge is longer from shore to shore or from abutment to abutment.
Since each bridge has its own specific characteristics, and these are large structures, the very definition of span can vary from one bridge to another. Most use the span at the axis of the arch's fixed support, similar to a hinged arch bridge, or the axis of the span, as in the case of a structure composed of several arches. Some, however, use the net span or the total external length of the arch.
