The Rockville Bridge, at the time of its completion in 1902, was, and still remains, the longest stone masonry arch railroad viaduct in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockville_Bridge From your link, you didn't specify that it was the longest stone masonry arch railroad viaduct in the world. Your question was the longest stone arch bridge in the world. May 31 11, 12:05 PM

Quote: Okay all you Rockville Bridge fans. I was right (as far as I can tell). While the railroad bridge is impressive and far, far more attractive than the more utilitarian Bulkeley Bridge, it is merely longer, but not â€oelarger.â€? The Bulkeley consumed â€oeover 100,000 cubic yardsâ€? of pink granite. The Rockville consumed â€oealmost 100,000 cubic yards of masonry.â€? also, the Bulkeley has larger arches, (90 feet vs. 70 feet) for what thatâ€s worth. And while the difference between â€oelargestâ€? vs. â€oelongestâ€? is admittedly silly, it IS a difference worth noting and I am confident enough to stick with my designation. http://www.ctmuseumquest.com/?page_id=6464 May 31 11, 5:52 PM

test The Bulkeley consumed "over 100,000 cubic yards" of pink granite. The Rockville consumed "almost 100,000 cubic yards of masonry." also, the Bulkeley has larger arches, (90 feet vs. 70 feet) for what that's worth. And while the difference between "largest" vs. "longest" is admittedly silly, it IS a difference worth noting and I am confident enough to stick with my designation. Jun 03 11, 1:47 AM
