List of highest bridges

This list of highest bridges includes bridges with a deck height of at least 200 metres (660 ft). The deck height of a bridge is the maximum vertical drop distance between the bridge deck (the road, rail or other transport bed of a bridge) and the ground or water surface beneath the bridge span.

Deck height is different from structural height, which is a measure of the maximum vertical distance from the uppermost part of a bridge, such as the top of a bridge tower to the lowermost exposed part of the bridge, where its piers emerge from the surface of the ground or water.

Structural height and deck height

The difference between tall and high bridges can be explained in part because some of the highest bridges are built across deep valleys or gorges. For example, (as of 8 February 2020) the Duge Bridge is the highest bridge in the world, but only the tenth tallest. This bridge spans a deep river gorge. The bridge's two towers, built on either rim of the gorge, are 269 m (883 ft) tall, but due to the depth of the river gorge, the deck height of the Duge Bridge is 565 m (1,854 ft).

The Millau Viaduct is a cable-stayed bridge that is both tall (in structural height) and high (in deck height). The tallest Millau Viaduct tower is situated near the valley floor, which gives the viaduct a structural height of 343 m (1,125 ft), and a deck height of 270 m (890 ft) above the valley floor. The Millau Viaduct is (as of 8 February 2020) the tallest bridge, but only the twenty-sixth highest bridge in the world.

Completed bridges

The ranking of the highest bridges in the world, currently open for use. Only bridges with a height of 200 metres (660 ft) or greater are included. Bridges under construction or demolished are not included.

  2. There is a reservoir under the bridge due to the Dongfeng Dam.
  3. The formation of the Goupitan Reservoir below the bridge has reduced the height above the water.
  4. The Xiaowan Dam has created a reservoir which extends under the bridge and the full height is not visible.
  5. The Three Gorges Dam Reservoir has increased the height of the water below the bridge and the full height is no longer visible.
  6. The Xiluodu Dam domwnstream has increased the height of the Jinsha River.
  7. The Baihetan Dam has created a reservoir on the Jinsha River.
