Let’s solve this step by step.
We are matching bridges with the world records they hold. Let’s go one by one and use known facts (as of 2026) to pair them correctly.
---
1. Akashi Bridge, Japan
→ This is a suspension bridge in Japan. It holds the record for
the longest central span suspension bridge in the world. Its main span is 1,991 meters — still the longest as of 2026.
✔ Match: *The longest central span suspension bridge in the world*
---
2. George Washington Bridge, New York, USA
→ This bridge connects Manhattan and New Jersey. It’s very busy — it carries more vehicles per day than almost any other bridge in the world.
✔ Match: *The busiest motor vehicle bridge in the world*
---
3. Golden Gate Bridge, California, USA
→ One of the most famous bridges in the world. It’s photographed millions of times every year.
✔ Match: *The world's most photographed bridge*
---
4. Hartland Covered Bridge, Canada
→ Located in New Brunswick, this is the
longest covered bridge in the world that is still open to traffic. Length: 391 meters.
✔ Match: *The longest covered bridge in the world*
---
5. Arkadiko Bridge, Turkey
→ Actually, correction: The Arkadiko Bridge is in
Greece, not Turkey. But since the worksheet says “Turkey”, we’ll assume it’s a typo or simplification for students. This bridge is ancient — built around 1300 BC — making it one of the oldest surviving bridges.
✔ Match: *The oldest bridge in the world*
*(Note: There may be older ruins, but Arkadiko is widely accepted as the oldest still-standing road bridge.)*
---
6. Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge, China
→ This is part of the Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway. It’s over 164 km long — officially recognized by Guinness World Records as
the longest bridge in the world.
✔ Match: *The longest bridge in the world*
---
Now let’s list all matches clearly:
- Akashi Bridge, Japan → The longest central span suspension bridge in the world
- George Washington Bridge, New York, USA → The busiest motor vehicle bridge in the world
- Golden Gate Bridge, California, USA → The world's most photographed bridge
- Hartland Covered Bridge, Canada → The longest covered bridge in the world
- Arkadiko Bridge, Turkey (actually Greece) → The oldest bridge in the world
- Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge, China → The longest bridge in the world
All records are now matched!
