Talk:Vidyasagar Setu

Contradiction
and when commissioned on October 10, 1992, it became the longest span bridge of this type in the world.[6] At that time it was the first cable-stayed bridge in India, the largest in Asia and the third largest in the world

First sentence (referecned) say it was the longest span. Second sentence say it was the 3rd largest(different definition?). From List of largest cable-stayed bridges there appear to be two cable-stayed bridges that were open and had longer spans.


 * Skarnsund Bridge in Norway 530m opened 1991.
 * Ikuchi Bridge in Japan 490m opened 1991.

Note: Vidyasagar Setu isn't metioned on List of largest cable-stayed bridges and it should be. ShakyIsles (talk) 02:48, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Longest
How is the Vidyasagar Setu the longest Cable Stayed Bridge in India? At 5km+, the Bandra Worli Sea Link is a longer cable stayed bridge. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 20:04, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
