The Nile River is the longest river in the world.
Length: 6,695 KM - 4,160 Miles
The James River Bridge is a four-lane divided highway lift bridge across the James River in the U.S. state of Virginia. When completed in 1928, the 4.5-mile (7 km) bridge was the longest bridge in the world over water.
The Akashi-Kaikyo bridge in Japan IS the longest suspension bridge in the world BUT, it crosses the Akashi Strait, not a river, as you asked in your question.

Longest river is the nile. I don't know how long it is, but you can look in cia world factbook and find out. The longest bridge wouldn't be over a river, but probably between islands or across a bay.
