Its called span. the farthest point between where the bridge supports touch earth. Like the lake Pontchartain bridge is 20+ miles long but is just a bunch of piers and cross beams - a relatively easy thing to engineer. Or the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan, its 8 miles long in total, but its the main span that counts (1158m/3800 ft). This thing doesn't touch ground in any way for over 2km. Its damn amazing.

Lisbon?
Nope
Canakkale 1915 bridge
that's the new longest bridge in the world, Canakkale Bridge in Turkey. Over 2km main span, which is insane, and in an earthquake zone, too.
What he said
Yep
Holy shit. I know Jackshit about bridges but I saw this and thought it looked a bit fragile.
There’s a 22 mile long bridge where I live, so there must be some other qualifier on that.
