Longest I have successfully built is 28m and that was tough. I'll see if I can beat the 30m that I am on now.

I'm at 26m I think or around there.

My bridges always collapse. If I was an engineer I think a lot of people would be dead.

the longest i have built is around 26m but i still haven't finished the rest of the game so i can still get more money.

Wow you guys are great! My best is a sad 20m T_T

I don't have a big budget. Mine is 20m as well.

there's a point (around 28-30m) where your bridge is too long and just collapses.

yeah i can only get to 20m, i can't get past like lvl 10

I got to 36m today. I think that's enough for me.

I reached 48m. You have to build a totally different kind of bridge to get past 34 or 35m.

My maximum is 52m. It isn't due to a lack of money, but the limits of physics.

So what's the alternative structural approach? I spanned up to 32m using (relatively) lightly braced arched bridges, moving to steel at the ends and wood in the middle, but it's got to the point where the base points seem to just sheer off. I tried making an experimental suspension chain, but it tore even under its own weight.

I agree budget is not the issue. I haven't spent more than 10% of available cash up to 32m.

I'm just building the 63m bridge.

Once you get to somewhere around 30m it becomes impossible to build structural bridges. After that you just have to build massive 10-15m steel constructions on both sides and between them a very light plank bridge without any connectors. I haven't changed my design since somewhere around 25m. If anyone is interessted I might make a short walkthrough on building longer bridges.

Exactly. The steel structures flex and keep the wood chain-bridge from snapping. I can't get past 56m, though. You must be creating a fantastic bridge to reach 62-63m.
