What Vera Files found

When completed, the 32.15-kilometer Cavite-Bataan Interlink Bridge will be the second longest in the Philippines, but it is nowhere near the longest in the world. The 157.3-kilometer Changhua-Kaohsiung Viaduct in Taiwan is the second longest in the world, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, next to the 164-kilometer Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in China cited by the Guinness World Records as the longest.
