This list of cantilever bridges ranks the world's cantilever bridges by the length of their main span. A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using cantilevers: structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end.
Completed cantilever bridges This list only includes bridges that carry automobiles or trains. It does not include suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, footbridges or pipeline bridges. The span must be 720 feet (220 m) or over to be included in the list. Note: Click on each bridge's rank to go to the bridge's website. The list may be incomplete. Sourced additions are welcomed.
