Burapha Withi Expressway Bangkok Thailand

If you like your bridges to be awe inspiring feats of engineering reaching out to conquer great natural obstacles, then the worlds longest road bridge may be a slight disappointment. It doesnt span a great canyon or raging body of water, it carries an elevated expressway into Bangkok, Thailand.The Burapha Withi Expressway (also known as the Bang Na Expressway) is 33.6 miles long but only crosses the Bang Pakong river for a fraction of that length. For the most part it just lifts the 6 lane highway clear of Bangkoks urban sprawl. Only a trio of railway bridges in China keep the Burapha Withi Expressway from retaining the title of worlds longest bridge.
