Sorry to disappoint, but the Chinese bridge is not the longest in the world. The Lake Ponchartrain Causeway, spanning the short side of the elliptically-shaped Lake Ponchartrain, and connecting New Orleans with the town of Mandeville, Louisiana, is 23.87 miles long. It was built in 1956, and has been expanded in recent years to include a second span.

The trip across the bridge takes almost a half hour. In the middle, for several miles, a traveler loses sight of land entirely.
