The list is too long to be maintained, so it is not updated. I propose to cut-off to 400 m or even 500 m to make it updateable. --

I completely agree. Once these lists get past around 50 items they become too long. Even if it is accurate it is hard to maintain and loses its usefulness at this kind of length. It should be noted that this came up a couple of years ago on this page and it was overruled. see here -
Talk:List of longest suspension bridge spans/Archive 2#Length of list
I'm going to cut it back to only bridges with spans longer than 500m unless anyone has any other thoughts? It is just too inaccurate and needlessly long.
I've restored the 300-400 meter bridges. When I created this list in 2006, I took great pains to make it accurate down to 300m spans using other lists as references. I think it is possible for us to keep it accurate to that length. Needlessly long? I think not. There are some significant bridges between 300 and 400 meters. -- ☑ SamuelWantman 8:47 pm, 26 June 2013, Wednesday (2 years, 7 months, 7 days ago) (UTC+12)
I still think it is too long though. Maybe these could be included in longest by country or some thing like that.

Cut to 400m. Following items were cut:
Extended cutoff to 500m there are still 85 bridges. That seems like plenty. Also many of the 400m-500m are missing pages and images.

The entry for this bridge should be removed since the list specifically excludes pipeline bridges. Just bringing this up so a more experienced editor can fix it. — Preceding
