The world's longest bridge is the DanyangâKunshan Grand Bridge in China, part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The bridge, which opened in June 2011, spans 102.4 miles (165 kilometers).

China constructed the DanyangâKunshan Grand Bridge in just 4 years, employing 10,000 workers, at a cost of about $8.5 million.
