The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge crosses the Dardanelles strait in Turkey with a main span of 2,023 metres. It opened in March 2022 and beat Japan's Akashi Kaikyō Bridge (1,991 m). The span length was chosen to honour 2023, the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic.

Longer spans are reported to be under construction in China, so check this record on a regular schedule.
