List of largest cable-stayed bridges
Encyclopedia
This list ranks the world's cable-stayed bridge
s by the length of main span (distance between the suspension towers). The length of the main span is the most common way to rank cable-stayed bridges. If one bridge has a longer span than another it does not mean that the bridge is the longer 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.
Cable-stayed bridges with more than three spans are generally more complex, and bridges of this type generally represent a more notable engineering achievement even where their spans are shorter.
Cable-stayed bridges have the second-longest spans (after suspended-deck suspension bridges) of the types of bridge. They are practical for spans up to around 1 kilometer (0.6 mi). The Sutong Bridge over the Yangtze River
in the People's Republic of China
has the largest span of any cable-stayed bridge at 1088 metres (3,569.6 ft), although in 2012 it is to be replaced at this position by Russky Island Bridge in Vladivostok
