That's correct but I need country and year (+/-50).

Hurry, don't let anyone jump in and snatch it up.

England is correct

Year is still off.

If no one else answers before I hit the hay, then orlok can ask the next question.

I'm hitting the proverbial hay myself now, so I'm happy for anyone to take over...

Not any justification for it being my turn, but since the floor is open . . .


In honor of the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge.

When it opened in 1937 the Golden Gate Bridge was the longest single span suspension bridge in the world (1,280 m longest span). When did it first lose that honor and to what bridge? What is the current holder of that title and when did it open? (Total of four points possible).

Having lived within a stone's throw of all three, I'll opt out of this one.

The Humber Bridge in the UK?

And I'm guessing from Stitchawl's reply that the current one might be in Japan?

Yes, I thought that Stitchawl would find this easy. No not the Humber Bridge, though it is longer the the GGB, and the bridge (?) that first displaced the GGB as well, only that bridge was built years earlier than the Humber Bridge.

Yes, Japan is the location of the current longest, but name and when built?

Not sure that helps me with the name....

I'm out of ideas, I'm afraid.

OH! There was a History Channel Modern Marvels show on building this bridge! My memory fails me on the name - but I can see it!
