Causeway - World's Longest Bridge

Causeway Bridge in New Orleans is a 24-mile (38.61 kms) stretch of two 2-lane spans running parallel across Lake Pontchartrain connecting Jefferson Parish (Metairie) on the South Shore and St. Tammany Parish (Mandeville)on the North Shore.

On the other hand, The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted at approximately 6700 kilometers (4,163 miles ) from east to west of China... The Shanghai-Ningbou Bridge in East China which opened in 2007 runs approximately 36 kilometers (2 kms shorter than Causeway) and is considered the longest cross sea bridge in the world...

The Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway Bridge, from Lafayette to Baton Rouge, is an 18.2 mile (nearly 30 km) bridge across the Atchafalaya River in the State of Louisiana.

I passed this bridge once. Went to Manderville.

It was a great experience considering I'm from California.

@andyrooney12 The Chinese bridge doubles back on itself so they had to make a category for it. The Causeway still holds the title as the longest continuous bridge over water.

Well, it's a sad day but everyone on YouTube who posted a video as this being the longest bridge in the world has to re-list it as being the 2nd longest bridge. The Chinese built one that is about 3.5mi longer than the Causeway. I'd love some nice roads in CA :) but if we are going to build the next cool bridge we should check out some of the great lakes :)

Built in 1956 (southbound span). Northern was built about ten years later.

The Causeway Bridge was originally a single span with one northbound lane and one southbound lane. When you drove you had to stay alert for oncoming traffic in your lane (people passing slower cars).

My mother was the fourth car in a 19-car pileup on that bridge during heavy fog in the early 1960s.

In 1968, a good friend was killed in a head-on collision on that bridge. Two cars of golfers crossed the bridge to play in a tournament but only one carload made it back.
