The world's longest bridge is the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan. this is a suspension bridge. It has a record main span of 1,991 meters. By comparison, the bridge is 366 meters (almost ¼ mile) longer than the previous record holder, the StoreBaelt (East Bridge) in Denmark, which was also opened in 1998.It cost an estimated 500 billion Japanese yen (U.S. $3.6 billion) to build the bridge. Construction began in 1988 and involved more than 100 contractors.

Surely the bridge crossing the Great Belt (Store Belt) between Denmark and Sweden?
This may not have the longest single span, but the longest total distance, as it has one of its "piers" on an artificial island.
