    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.

    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.

    The Bayonne Bridge was longer than the Sydney Harbor bridge with its main span being 25 feet longer.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @french1956

      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.

    • @SteveCarras
      @SteveCarras 6 лет назад +1

      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.)

    • @TheB1M
      @TheB1M  6 лет назад +4

      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".

    • @french1956
      @french1956 6 лет назад

      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.

    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?

    Note. The Anashi bridge's cables ain't dug into bedrock, but supported by underground concrete structures.

      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.

      At the start the video he said these kind of bridges are not included. Otherwise you will see some bridges of more than 100 km long.

      Sorry B1M, when it comes to bridges, it is kind of hard for a Michigander to think of any bridge being better then the Mighty Mac. A bridge that many said was not needed and would be under utilized but most today could not live without. How else would us trolls below be able to visit our cousins the Yupers?
