Top 4: The Bang
Na Expressway (full name: Bang Na - Bang Phli - Bang Pakong Expressway),

, is a 54.0
Kilometres long six-lane
elevated highway in Thailand. It is a toll road and runs above National Highway
route 34, (Bang Na–Bang Pakong Highway) owned by the Expressway Authority of
Thailand (EXAT). The highway is elevated onto a viaduct that has an average
span length of 42 meters. It is a 27-meter wide box girder bridge and was
completed in January 2000. It took 1,800,000 cubic meters of concrete to build
the bridge. The structure was built using a design-build contracting method and
was designed by Jean Muller International. There are two toll plazas on the
elevated structure where the structure must widen to accommodate twelve lanes.
It is often considered to be one of the longest bridges in the world (until
2010 the longest) but it is excluded from some lists since it does not cross a
body of water for most of its length. The most major body of water that it crosses
is the Bang Pakong River.
