Longest Elevated Highways In Southeast Asia
Elevated highways are technically bridges, though some sites do not list them in the longest bridges list. The Bang Na Expressway is by far the longest bridge in Southeast Asia, and when it was built it was listed by Guinness World Records as the longest road bridge in the world.
While the Bang Na Expressway is classified as a bridge, I’ve made a separate list for elevated highways. This definition is also open for debate. For example, the Industrial Ring Road Bridge in Bangkok is mostly an elevated highway that includes two distinct bridges. The Industrial Ring Road Bridge includes Bhumibol 1 Bridge (702 m) and Bhumibol 2 Bridge (582 m), leaving over 10 km of elevated highway that is part of the bridge.
