Zwolle also has a Cernavodă by the way.

I guess the "ã" (and not "a") in "vodã" even specifies the Bulgarian dialect from which the name originated - the one in the central part of Northern Bulgaria.

The Asparuhov bridge in Varna remains the longest one inside Bulgaria, and if border bridges do count, Danube bridge Ruse - Giurgiu between Bulgaria and Romania remains the longest bridge for both countries.

Some newer adition is 770 m viaduct on A5 Lyulin near Golemo Buchino, which is almost directly connected to another one of 440 m... Driving in direction Pernik-Sofia you wont see the difference from being a one viaduct as the 50-60 m between them are over a vertical concrete wall. On the other side of the road still you touch the slopes of the mountain.
Here are some panoramic pictures by fellow forumer FloatingShift from the time of construction of the two consecutive viaducts:

The direct road connecting A5 to A6 near Pernik and passing over the interchange with E871 is 720 meters long:

I had the opportunity to visit the new Shanghai Container terminal (Part of Shanghai Port) but build on an island 32km into the see. The Terminal is linked by a 6 lane highway on a bridge with the total bridge section more than 38km long! Very impressive.

See the old thread where I borrowed the two images from. It was extremely misty when we were traveling there and the windows on the bus dirty so my own pictures are not good.

I do not know if I wonder cross it any day but I expect not to get wrong.

Seems no return way in those 38 km...

***alserrod*** · May 14th, 2012, 11:23 PM

It is not longest... but not recently built...

It is a bridge located in the road EX-207 at Alcantara, in the western Spain very close to the border with Portugal. It cross the Tajo river, the longest one that goes at Spain and Portugal.

More than 20 centuries old... and the road still cross by the same point where the Romans made the bridge. They have "decorated" the brigde like in the photo but the rest of the road has normal asphalt.

Actually, nobody from Bulgaria mentioned a viaduct of Bruxelles boulevard in Sofia, going to the Airport. It is 2150 m long and is upto expressway standard 2x2.

On Italian A14 there is a 35 km section with no exits between Foggia and Cerignola. It's very annoying to miss the right exit there... There is another 30km+ section on A23 between Carnia and Pontebba.

Öresund Bridge from Sweden to Denmark. The bridge has a motorway and a railway. The railway is under the motorway.

I think this is one of the most beautiful longer bridges in Europe. And this bridge is very good for Sweden and Denmark

Nima-Farid · June 22nd, 2012, 07:22 PM

love it....

I would definitely use that...
I would start from Iran, go through Central Asian countries, pass through XUAR and PRC and then enter Russian Serbia and go there, then cross the strait and go towards Vancouver BC.

When will the construction start?

Never. It's a cathedral in the desert, connecting two unpopulated zones and so overwhelmingly expensive that it's not going to pay itself in 2000 years.
