TOP 10 LISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

This site offers Top 10 lists researched and collated from various worldwide sources. The only rubric we apply to warrant inclusion is that the top-ten list for each subject must be either a: factual (i.e. top ten highest mountains) or b: the subject of a vote. If by vote the top ten must either have a base of at least 30 participants (if a popular vote) or 10 participants (if voted on by an expert jury). Individual persons top-ten's don't make it. The site is constantly being added to so watch this space for more Top-10s!

Date: Q2 2009

Source: PONTE SULLO STRETTO

Base: All single span bridges carrying traffic in the world

Notes: The Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge in Japan heads the list of the top 10 longest single spand bridges in the world. Europe's longest singel span bridge is the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark, although current plans for a bridge between mainland Italy and Sicily across the Messina straights would surpass it if given the go ahead. The Tsing Ma (Hong Kong to China), has the longest span for a bridge with both road and train traffic.
