I've highlighted Duffinator's answer (remember; editing is allowed up 'till the deadline), but this is a little help for you all: The world's longest bridge span is currently 1911m and forms the central span of the Akashi-Kaikyo bridge in Japan (though when built, Messina will smash this). Clearly 1911m is therefore the largest value that anyone can submit. Obviously the bridge in question is neither of those listed (though if I'd stayed just a little longer with my last employer, I'd have worked on the tender for Messina )

M miklorsmith Full Audioholic Sep 8, 2004 309 0 0 Jan 11, 2006 #24 Drat! I looked up bridge engineers in Glasgow, which led me to a particular concern that I assumed you worked for. I noted that firm to be working on design for a seemingly unfunded bridge, listed previously. Back to the drawing board. . . p.s. bobbydigital - nice avatar. DangerDOOM. I just saw MF in Seattle a few weeks back.

From your hint though, we can assume it's not going into Guinness for longest span?

You are right, logically it could've been the longest, but I can confirm that it wouldn't have been.

AverageJoe Full Audioholic Aug 9, 2005 292 0 43 Jan 11, 2006 #31 Oops - I withdraw the question! I just naturally assumed a gentleman of your obvious expertise, talent, and intelligence would quite likely be involved with a stupendous, record-breaking, marvel of engineering. Nah, I'd never be acused of buttering-up the judge.

(I agree with AverageJoe, btw. 19xx m. is not the largest span "unbuilt" bridge.) My guess now is...ta daaaaa... River Clyde... 100 meters! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I'm going to share it with any and all audioholics in the Chicago area or any willing to make the trip (limit one or there will not be enough to get wasted ). I guess 1221 meters.

racquetman Audioholic Chief Jun 2, 2005 850 0 0 51 Norton Shores, MI Jan 11, 2006 #37 My guess is 625 meters. If I win, I will drive to the middle of the Mackinac Bridge (spanning the 2 peninsulas of Michigan), stop my car, and down a shot in honor of you Robbie. This is normal behavior for me. Don't think you're special or anything!!

I can help you here...at a price. I know the span of Neptune's Way (which incidentally will be about a one-minute walk from my flat when it's built) and can provide it's length if you'd like. BUT, if I do, you will be held to this value and not allowed to change it (whereas others may change theirs if they wish) What do you say?

masak_aer Senior Audioholic Dec 15, 2005 689 0 28 VA Jan 13, 2006 #40 Ok, I work for a Civil Engineers Council here with ties to FIDIC and i know its Chairman, probably he knows somebody in Scotland who probably knows you. Now, probably i can just refer him here to refer to his Scottish friend who might, by any chance, know you. Arghh..what the hell!! I just guess it now, it is 984 meters. Ok, here's the deal. If my guess is half of what might be the right answer, I'll settle with half the content of the bottle and it can goes up or down proportionately. Last edited by a moderator: Oct 19, 2014
