so,which country? :weirdo:

Russia, I presume...
:D

Italy? Do the bridges in Venice count?

The Netherlands, compared to it's size?

If you're speaking of any kind of bridges, China is my guess.

I say Brasil...or even Colombia have a large amount of bridges

I Would say Indonesia...
Since it is the largest island country in the world

I don't know about small bridges, but Denmark must be the country which has the most large bridges per capita.

Maybe Switzerland. But I guess they prefer to rely on tunnels.

Maybe Italy..

I think That china has the most bridges overall, and holland the most bridges per capita.

Do you think?
China may have more inhabitants because it is more densely populated, but I think the United States could have more bridges.

Yeah, it'd definitely be the States given its size and level of development.

But the States isn't old enough... it hasn't been building bridges for nearly long enough to match China in quantity. Also, more people = more bridges needed, generally of course.

Perhaps The US?, if not compare th the size of the country, only taking about number of bridges alone.

I think that should be Indonesia... 16 thousand islands mean a lot of inland waterways.. 220 million populations, 4th in the world means heaps of cities and villages..

are there bridges in all the 16 thousand islands??? :eek:

I don't think Indonesia's infrastructure is developed so much.

Italy? Do the bridges in Venice count?

Venice doesn't has soo much bridges in total numbers. Amsterdam has more. And Hamburg has even more than both towns combined.

It is really hard to name the country with the most bridges, because I doubt that every country or region collects statistical data of their amount of bridges. Bridges are also not just bridging water, but also roads, highways, valleys and sometimes even bridges.

^
I even think its impossible to know what country has most bridges

It could be easyer to know more specifical data: highway bridges, river bridges...

Norway is ruraly built, highly developed, and has a lot of fjord and as many islands as Indonesia. I hardly belive it got the most bridges in the world, but compared to the size it might be high up on the lists.

I Would say Indonesia...
Since it is the largest island country in the world

The largest island country is actually Australia.

The largest island country is actually Australia.

Sorry i mean largest archipelago country
it's contain about 18,108 islands

You guys are joking , muhahhahahahaha funny, even a state in America ,say Michigan has btw 5-10 thousand bridges..more than any other country excepth G-8 and China india probably.....

yeah...every major city in the US has dozens of huge highway bridges, for instance!

Its the same in Canada, we have thousands of Bridges.

Bridges are also not just bridging water, but also roads, highways, valleys and sometimes even bridges.

Depends on your definition of a "bridge". In Dutch a bridge is always over water. A (rail)road "bridging" an other (rail)road is called a viaduct.

I think USA has the most amount of bridges.

Most of eastern China (where nearly all the people live) is criss-crossed with canals. Everywhere. Before modernization China was completely dependant on its canal system and you could get pretty much anywhere, down to individual fields, by boat. A lot are full of silt now but they still need bridging. Given it's huge population and size I would guess that China has ten times as many bridges as any other country in the world.

I agree with the grand canal of china which built more than a thousand years ago is still the longest man made canal start from beijing to southern china, imagine how much bridges would have already built across this canal, and also china has two of the longest river in the world yellow river and yantze river. and in the towns in the two major river delta, the situation is similar to netherlands and venice.

Its either Canada or the USA or maybe Russia or China. The largest countries geographical will no doubt have the most bridges. I know in Canada we have alot, just in my city alone we have over 20 major bridges (4 lanes or more) and countless small bridges. I think the USA may have more but im not sure.

I don't know which country has the most bridges, all I know that Seattle has over 150 bridges (includes water overpasses, freeway overpasses, viaducts, etc) :)

Amsterdam alone has over 1500 bridges, and it's smaller than Seattle. I do think that Holland has got the most bridges per capita.

just saw a tv show about bridges. dont know if the information they have is entirely correct.
But true is, that Hamburg is the city with most bridges, about 2500 and another german city (Berlin) has about 1600. London, Amsterdam and Hong Kong should also be in the Top 10, dont know wich place.
They also said, that Germany has most bridges in Europe and more bridges than the States, but not most bridges of the world. Unfortunately they didnt mention which country has most, but I would also bet on China. Also counting all bridges built the past 2000 years and still standing.
I believe you also have to think about the grade of infrastructure and population density. Bridges over Highways, other big streets and railroad traks shurely outnumber bridges over water in most well developed countrys by far.

I saw that aswell, on Pro7. But it was an infotainment show, so I don't know if we wanne trust them.

japan?

Hamburg : 6000 Bridges
London : 850
Amsterdam:600
Venice: 410

s.petersburg with the most bridges

Hamburg : 6000 Bridges

:?
According to Wikipedia Hamburg is the city with the most bridges in Europe with ca. 2300 bridges. Amsterdam has ca. 1200, Venice ca. 400 and St.Petersburg 300 bridges.

USA most likely
