TOP 10 Tallest Bridges in the world.
The tallest bridge in the world. Tall in here means the bridge body’s total height, which is the bridge tower’s height. Because the tower is the highest part of a bridge.
The bridge tall refers to the height from the tower’s bottom to the tower’s top in this list. The higher the tower, the more technically difficult the project.
The list is ranked according to the bridge tall. Therefore, the ranking changes dynamically.
If a new super bridge is built, it will be automatically inserted into the list to correct it.
