Longest suspension bridge span, Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, Kobe, Japan, Length: 6,532 feet. This steel behemoth bridges the Akashi Strait that separates Kobe from Iwaya, making it the world’s longest suspension bridge. Every day, 23,000 cars pass over a structure that must withstand earthquakes (a 7.2 magnitude hit in 1995), consistently strong tidal currents, and wind gusts up to 179mph. Completed in 1998, the record-setting central span 213ft above the sea makes up over half its total 12,831ft.
