The largest cantilever bridge in the world is the 549-metre/1,801 ft Quebec Bridge in Quebec, Canada The project failed twice, at the cost of 88 lives, and took over 30 years to complete. Opened December 3, 1919, and was the longest span of any bridge in the world until the Ambassador_Bridge between Detroit and Windsor was completed in 1929. It is still in use and also a National Historic Site. It is unlikely a longer one will ever be built as the suspension and cable-stayed designs are better for long distances.
