3. The George Washington Bridge was the first bridge span to reach a length of over one kilometer, it was the longest main bridge span in the world from its 1931 opening until the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco opened in 1937. It was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1981.
4. The Ambassador Bridge became the longest span in the world in 1929 until 1931, it surpassed the record of the Quebec Bridge in Canada and since that date the record for longest bridge span has only been held by suspension bridges.
5. From 1926 to 1929, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge had the longest span of any suspension bridge in the world.

17. The Wheeling Suspension Bridge was the first bridge with a span of more than 1,000 feet (300 m) and the longest span in the world from 1849 until 1866. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, it was closed to automobile traffic in September 2019.
18. The First Niagara Clifton Bridge was the longest span in the world from 1869 until 1883. The covering of the towers was carried out in 1872, in 1884, the wooden towers were replaced with steel, finally all the wooden components were replaced with steel in 1888 and the deck was widened. The bridge can then have very different appearances depending on the year.
