This
list of the largest cable-stayed bridges
ranks the world's
cable-stayed
bridges by the length of main span (distance between the
suspension towers). The length of the main span is the most common
way to rank cable-stayed bridges. If one bridge has a longer span
than another it does not mean that the bridge is the longer from
shore to shore or from anchorage to anchorage. However, the size of
the main span does often correlate with the height of the towers
and the engineering complexity involved in designing and
constructing the bridge.
Cable-stayed bridges with more than three spans are generally more
complex, and bridges of this type generally represent a more
notable engineering achievement even where their spans are
shorter.
Cable-stayed bridges have the second-longest spans (after
suspended-deck suspension
bridges) of the types of bridge. They are practical for spans
up to around 1 kilometer (0.6 mi).
The Sutong Bridge
over the Yangtze River
in China
has the
largest span of any cable-stayed bridge at , although in 2012 it is
to be replaced at this position by Russky Island Bridge in Vladivostok
, Russia
with its
span.
Completed cable-stayed bridges
This list includes all bridges with a main span of at least 300
metres. This list only includes bridges that carry automobiles or
trains. It does not include suspension bridges,
footbridges or
pipeline bridges.

Cable stayed bridges planned or under construction, sorted by
main span
Longest cable-stayed decks
The definition of cable-stayed deck length that here has been
selected is: A continuous part of the bridge deck that is supported
only by stay-cables and pylons, or are free spans.
This means that
columns supporting the side span as for example found in Pont de Normandie
, excludes most of the side span decks from the
cable-stayed deck length.
Note that there are some bridges with long decks whose all span
lengths have not been published, and therefore are missing. Decks
exceeding are:
