Shout out to the 7 ft. log that fell on top of the 1 meter stream near my home growing up. It served its purpose very well for shortcuts. Especially when I was late to school or when my gf, at the time, called to tell me she was home alone.
@@richardwarren1718 I think he blinked 3 times in rapid succession. He is a delight. His pronunciation and sentence structure are superb and he has an almost teenager's enthusiasm for his presentation.
great video! but it would be even greater if you showed the locations of the bridges on a map in the video, and also wrote down the numbers on a screen while pronouncing them.
First is southern Japan; second is in Quebec Province, Canada; third, Yangtze River, China; Fourth, Vadavlostok, Eastern Russia; last, Kobe, central Japan.
The akashi kaikyo bridge is great. I went to see it in person and there’s an observation deck inside the bridge under the roadway where you can walk out over the water. The bridge is truly breathtaking, It’s soooo amazingly big!
Actually, the Sydney Harbour Bridge's pylons are purely aesthetic. The entire structure rests on a pair of foundations at either end of the span. The designers believed the public would consider the bridge too fragile without pylons and would avoid using it, so they added them to create confidence. Because the project was designed to create jobs during the depression (much like Hoover Dam), the pylons also meant Sydney's many qualified masons could find work while there was a significant drop in the use of expensive sandstone materials in favour of brick and concrete.
According to an urban legend, upon graduation, Quebec civil engineer receive a steel ring forged with pieces of the collapsed Quebec bridge. It is worn on the pinky finger of the working hand. It is rough at first, but is smoothed with time, symbolizing the experience that comes with age. Its purpose is to remind the engineer of their responsibility towards public safety.
Imagine being promised a new bridge and then having to wait 20 years for it. It's kind of like what we're going through waiting for the California high speed rail.
The San Juanico bridge in the Philippines is over 2km long but the longest span is only up to 190 meters. Still very beautiful though. An "island-hopping" bridge if you may.
My uncle was a managing engineer on the Akashi Kaikyo bridge. We did a tour every time we visited him in Japan. There are whirlpools under the bridge's support.
The Humber Bridge is spectacular too.. just driven over it twice with my kids today! : The concrete towers are 155.5 metres (510 feet) tall and were built to be 36mm further apart from each other at the top than at the bottom, to allow for the curvature of the Earth. 30 metre clearance to water. There is enough wire used in the bridge to go around the Moon more than six times. 9 years to build, started 1971. Central span 1410m. Total 2.22 km single-span road suspension bridge, which opened to traffic on 24 June 1981.
The Bayonne Bridge was longer than the Sydney Harbor bridge with its main span being 25 feet longer. It was the longest bridge in the world when it was completed and aesthetically is almost identical to Sydney's. It's also one of the most overlooked bridges in the world, as it was in your video.
Nice to see the Russky island bridge with its 590m long stay cables on which I worked for 3 years. A definite challenge give the extreme weather conditions, but a real pride to have been part of it.
Mohammed Alshawi to develop the island; it hosts a big university among other things. Just find the city on Google Maps to understand what is the island to this city.
In light of the recent collapse of the motorway bridge in Italy (I felt uneasy on those bridges in 1972) it occurs to me to ask whether the original designers ever considered how to maintain their structures beyond their expected life span. The last bridge in your video is drop dead gorgeous and I know it's taken with a really wide angle lens but, hey, how do you fix it if the designer got it wrong or the contractors substituted cheaper materials? Love your channel intermittently - in another life I might have been a structural engineer.
Awesome video! But why didn't you recognize the Verrazano Narrows bridge being the longest suspension bridge in the United States. Instead the golden gate gets all the love.
When I moved here I was particularly smitten by the Golden Gate br. The Bay Bridge is cool too, but it is for motor vehicles only [save for one side of the new half]. I used to ride my bike to the north end where they shaved off the hilltop. If one stands on one's bike it's possible to reach up and grab the bridge deck and feel it slowly lifting and settling in the wind. That was pre 911, they'd probably take a dim view these days.
IvanPlayStation4LiFe yeah well the difference between those and the Chinese knock off ones, is the ones in China will never be as impressive or iconic considering the Golden Gate Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge were built in a time when no where else in the world has bridges of such designs and magnitude nor the technology to construct them. No Chinese Bridge will ever top that.
Isn't floating bridges also considered a category? Washington state has 4 of the world's longest floating bridges. Three of them are over Lake Washington. Two bridges of I-90 between Seattle and Mercer Island. Then there is the world's longest, the new Hwy 520 Evergreen Point replacing the old one between Seattle and Medina. The 4th spans between the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas.
A major omission. Thanks for the pointing that out. I was going to comment but you beat me to it. Also, can't forget the $4B price tag for the 520 span or that the 104 Hood Canal Floating Bridge is the longest over salt water with tidal variances of about eight feet. In addition, there's the STLink rail system being built on the I-90 HHM Floating Bridge which will be the first of its kind in the world where the tracks flex and slide during heavy weather or when Lake Washington is raised or lowered through the locks.
Sure are..I've been over ALL of the bridges mentioned..then the Hood canal bidge upstate of that. A real short one (seen in the 1963 all-star comedy "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World" with Jimmy Durante and the Three Stooges among virtually everyone) was in Long Beach untill 1968, when the arched Gerald Desmond bridge replaced it, and currently a cable stayed bridge is built to replace THAT. All of them built at time or another with the retractile draw span (a feature which with the bridge is mutally exclusive, there's swing span pontoons and non-pontoon retractile) in them.)
We only looked at the 5 main categories, there are certainly more. As with elevated highways, which are supported by regular pylons along their route, we couldn't include floating bridges because they are primarily supported by the bridges buoyancy in water along their entire length. No way to measure its "longest continuous span".
The SR 529 Floating Bridge is elevated 30-feet on pylons mounted on the pontoons, so the road deck is supported as like any other bridge. The bridge is 1.2 miles long and should be included in your survey.
You mentioned golden gate, but not our humber bridge, which was the longest in the world from 1981 to 1998, once that's Japan one was finished. Love the video.
Exactly. B1M's posture is: Pick and choose and spotlight what's convenient! If it's not mentioned, it doesn't exist. That's the mindset. How sad. There are at least ten bridges from Europe that should have bee mentioned and ranked, for their historical importance and record-breaking achievement at one particular moment in history.
No mention of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway? Or does that go along with the elevated highways that weren’t included? Bc the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is the longest straight(continuous, uncurved) overwater bridge in the world. It starts slightly west of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA and goes north over Lake Pontchartrain
There is a bridge between Lancaster County and York County in south-central Pennsylvania, but it doesn’t have anything other than a road and a short wall on the side. This bridge is a part of US 30.
Surely the Ørresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden breaks some sort of record. Part bridge and part tunnel with a man made island to form the entrance to the tunnel, it's an extraordinary piece of engineering.
I guess the only superlative record the Sydney Harbour Bridge holds now is the number of fireworks blown off it at New Year's Eve! But I'm glad it got featured. Still one of those giant soul-of-the-city spans like San Francisco's Golden Gate or New York's Brooklyn Bridge. That longer, newer Chinese version leaves me cold.
There is actually two bridges connected to an island, with the longest of them being 6,79 km long and the other one being 6,611. There is also a tunnel
Question. Why were "elevated highways" not considered to be "bridges" in this list? I have always considered them to be bridges. Like the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. Even though it is called a "causeway" it is still elevated above the water for it's entire span. But anyways... Could you make a video including these? And maybe make a video in chronological order of the world's longest bridge starting with the very first true bridge?
Louisiana's world record-setting Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is the longest over-water bridge in the world. 24 miles long, y'all..Red beans, rice, Louie Armstrong and Britney too!
It may have been setting records at some point - but today there is at least 7 bridges that is longer than Lake PC. And none are in the US - 6 of those are in China in fact. Seems like y'all aint eating enough rice!
Ponte da arrabida was the largest arch bridge in the world and was so ridiculous many architects came because they thought it would fail and fall apart. It did not.
You are incorrect, the Greeks did not use arches because they simply did not know that such an architectural component could be built. They were later invented by the Etruscans, and perfected by the Romans.
Sydney Harbour Bridge was the longest single span bridge in the world for many years after its construction in the 1930s. Many lost their lives in its construction too.
Not one mention or reference to the UK's longest single span supension bridge (The Humber Bridge) Which for 17 years between 1981 and 1998 was the worlds longest single span suspension bridge. With the presentor of this channel being from England himself, it's really disapointing that the Humber Bridge wasn't even mentioned.
No, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge ( the one shown in the video ) does not carry railway. The one that you recently took on train was probably the Great Seto Bridge, also connecting the Honshu island and the Shikoku island, more specifically from Okayama to Kagawa.
This Hardangerbrua, a suspension-bridge in Norway with the length of 1380m, a main span of 1310m, not mentioned in this YTvideo. Something I rather find weird. In comparison this more famous Golden Gate bridge in SanFransisco, has a 30m SHORTER main span.
3:34 I love these videos, and background music tracks like this one is a major reason. I would love to know the sources of music in your videos. A great video as usual!
You mentioned that the Sydney Harbour Bridge was the widest bridge in the world until 2012. Its record was taken by the new Port Mann Bridge near Vancouver, which also tied the record for the longest-cable-stayed bridge in North America. Unfortunately the widest bridge record didn't last long, because the Tahya Misr Bridge built in Egypt last year is wider.
@@CarterDarrah I agree. I feel like there should be 2 categories for bridge length, longest freestanding bridge (like this video), and longest continually supported bridge.
I understand. You didn't mention the Mackinac Bridge Because it is no longer the longest suspension bridge in the world. It is now the one in Japan. But was the Mighty Mac ever the longest at five miles long?
Look up the Mackinac Bridge. It connects michigans lower peninsula to the upper peninsula. It is 26,000 ft long. Around 5 miles.... This is longer than what you called "The longest bridge in the world"
Note. The Anashi bridge's cables ain't dug into bedrock, but supported by underground concrete structures. - Watch Big Bigger Biggest for further information.

Currently, the 1915 Çanankkale Bridge in Turkey is the longest suspension bridge with a center span of 2023 metres (6637 ft).
When bridges are spoken, that ol' Golden Gate seems to slip in somewhere!
Consider doing a spotlight on the Mackinac (pronounced “MackinAW”) Bridge is Michigan. It’s longer than the golden gate in San Francisco at 5.1 Miles
I subscribed just to listen to you speak Fred Mills. Your voice is one of the most calming phenomenon I have ever experienced.

But compare to Chinese and the new bridge in Crimea, Russia those look bad. And I use to live in Brooklyn for 20 years I know.
