Notes

Gibraltar Bridge
Spain to Morocco
Very long
Proposed
Some designs have suspension spans of several miles. The suspension cables of a very long bridge might be suspended from the ends of cable-stayed struts extending diagonally from huge pylons. However, as of 2008, the feasibility of a tunnel is being considered instead.

HAFAST
Sulafjorden, Norway
4,000 m (13,000 ft)
Bridge under planning
Will replace the ferry connecting Hareid and Sula, as well as being part of the national "Ferry-free E39" project. Expected start 2020 and finished 2024?

Sognebrua
Sognefjorden, Norway
3,700 m (12,100 ft)
Bridge under planning
One of several proposals for crossing the 1,300-metre-deep (4,300 ft) fjord as part of making the E39 highway along Norway's west coast ferry-free. The bridge would utilize two towers 450 m tall and have a maximum clearance above water of 70 m. Plans call for the highway project, including this crossing, to finish by 2025.

Strait of Messina Bridge
Sicily to mainland Italy
3,300 m (10,800 ft)
Cancelled
The project was canceled on 11 October 2006 by the Romano Prodi-led government amid controversy concerning the bridge's cost.[106] The new government from 2008 led by Silvio Berlusconi wanted to pick up the project again. Preliminary works were to begin in December 2009. The main construction was expected to begin in 2012. As of February 2013, the project has again been cancelled.

Sunda Strait Bridge
Java to Sumatra, Indonesia
about 3,000 m (9,800 ft)
Cancelled
This project has been approved by the Indonesian government. If completed, it will not only be the world's longest suspension bridge (26 km), but will also have a main span of about 3,000 m (9,800 ft)—roughly fifty percent longer than the current record.[107]

Malacca Strait Bridge
Peninsular Malaysia, Malaysia to Sumatra, Indonesia
2,600 m (8,500 ft)
Preliminary work
Joint project between the Malaysian and Indonesian governments for a 48-kilometre-long (30 mi) crossing. Included is a suspension span of 2,600 m and a cable-stayed span of 1,200 m, making both longer than any existing in their category.

Storfjord Bridge
Storfjorden, Norway
2,300 m (7,500 ft)
Plans under consideration
Will replace the ferry connecting the municipalities of Sykkylven and Ålesund as well as being part of the "ferry-free E39" project. Unusually, the proposed design will have the roadway split around single column towers.

Edvard Grieg Bridge
Halsafjord, Norway
about 2,000 m (6,600 ft)
Proposed
The bridge will replace a ferry, and reduce the driving time between Trondheim and Molde by 34 minutes.

Mao Zedong Bridge
Qiongzhou Strait, China
about 2,000 m (6,600 ft)
Preliminary work
A suspension bridge is being considered to cross the 22.5-kilometre-wide (14.0 mi) Qiongzhou Strait.[108] One design consists of four bridges strung together with four main spans of 2,000 m, two main-spans of 1,800 m, five anchorages and 10 towers.[109] If completed this bridge will assume six of the top seven longest spans.

Chacao Channel bridge
Chiloé to mainland Chile
1,100 m (3,600 ft)
Preliminary work [110]
This unusual design had two main spans of 1,055 m and 1,100 m without an anchorage between them. Construction was supposed to begin in 2007 and completed in 2012, but because of cost overruns, the project is now on hold.

Chain suspension footbridge south of Lhasa, built by Thangtong Gyalpo. Reported by British spies to still be in use in 1878. Later (before 1904) fell into disuse after river course changed, swamping the northern end.[111] Dynamited by Chinese soldiers after the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950.[112]

1924
It was the longest suspension span but not the longest span of all bridges. The Quebec Bridge with a span of 549 m was longer. The first suspension bridge to have a concrete deck. The construction methods pioneered in building it would make possible several much larger projects to follow.

Benjamin Franklin Bridge

1926
It was the longest suspension span but not the longest span of all bridges.

Ambassador Bridge

text: As the largest animal alive, the blue whale has the largest instance of several body parts.

text:
Its tongue weighs around 2.7 tonnes (3 short tons)[1]
Its mouth is large enough to hold up to 90 tonnes (100 short tons) of food and water.[2]
Its heart typically weighs 600 kg (1,300 lb) [1] and can reach 900 kg (2,000 lb) in exceptional cases[3]
Its aorta is about 23 centimetres (9.1 in) in diameter.[4]
The blue whale's penis typically measures 8–10 ft. (2.4 – 3 meters) [5]

The giraffe has the longest neck of any land mammal.[7]
The walrus has the largest baculum of any mammal.[8]
The wandering albatross has the largest wingspan at 3.63 metres (11 feet 11 inches).[9]

Bootlace worms can reach great lengths. A specimen was measured at 55 m (180 ft) but this may be unreliable as the body is somewhat elastic.[13]

text: In proportion to body size[edit]

text:
The Morgan's sphinx hawk moth has the longest proboscis in relation to its body size. Its 25–30 cm proboscis is over 3 times longer than its body. It is also known as Darwin's moth because Charles Darwin predicted its existence some 40 years before it was discovered from experiments he did on an orchid with a "foot long" nectary.[14]
The tube-lipped nectar bat has the longest tongue of any mammal in relation to its body size. Its 85 mm (3.3 in) tongue is 1.5 times longer than its body, and must be kept inside its rib cage.[15]
The barnacle is the creature with the largest penis as a proportion of its body size.[16]
Among vertebrates, the Argentine blue-bill duck has the longest penis in relation to its body size.[17]

The kiwi lays the largest egg of any bird relative to its size - up to a quarter of the mass of the female.
Shrews have the largest brain-to-body mass ratio of any animal, with brains that are 10% of body weight. Humans however have the largest encephalization quotient of any animal.[19]
