longest bridges in australia

Australia’s longest bridges don’t muck about: the Macleay River and Floodplain Bridge near Kempsey stretches roughly 3.2 km, the longest road bridge in the country.

Queensland’s Ted Smout Memorial Bridge cruises over Bramble Bay for about 2.74 km, with the Houghton Highway beside it only a whisker shorter.

Victoria’s West Gate Bridge runs to around 2.6 km, while the Sydney Harbour Bridge—big personality, shorter tape—measures about 1.15 km.

Tasmania’s Tasman Bridge sits near 1.4 km, and the camera-loving Sea Cliff Bridge is a mere 0.66 km or so, pretty but hardly a marathoner.

Lengths are approximate, but the pecking order is the same whichever ruler you use.
