A very nice bridge. The Robelings of the world are my heros.

I hope you didn't.

Span of Cooper River Bridge: 1546 ft
Span of Golden Gate: 4200 ft

The Golden Gate isn't the largest...Verrezano Narrows in NYC is 50 feet longer.

But it may be the longest NA Cable Stayed Bridge as it's longer than the Tampa Bay Bridge...

It is a very cool looking bridge.
