5 Highest Bridges In The World

This is a list of the world’s highest public bridges. The height of the bridge is ranked by the height of the deck which is the maximum distance from the road of the bridge down to the ground or water beneath. In other words, when you drive in your car over the bridge and look down – how far does the ground look. This list of highest bridges is different from the list of tallest bridges which ranks bridges by the height of their structure.
