According to Wikipedia encyclopedia, the Frankford Avenue Bridge in Philadelphia is the oldest (see: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankford_Avenue_Bridge). According to this article, the bridge was built in 1697 or 1698. It is also known as the Pennypack Creek Bridge, the Holmesburg Bridge, and the King's Highway Bridge (probably it's original name).
*Actually this answer is false. The oldest bridge in the US is the old stone arch bridge next to the jewel mill (glen mill) in Rowley, MA. Built in 1643 and is still in use today.

When viewing the main span (the distance of roadway between the towers, and the most common use in rank) the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, in New York City, has the longest span in the US at 4,260 ft. However, when adding anchorages, the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan is the longest in the US at 8,614 ft. (and third in the world when viewed this way). The total span of the Mackinac Bridge is 26,372 ft. while the Verrazano-Narrows is 13,700 ft.
