What is the name of the oldest bridge that is still working?
I believe it is the Clifton Suspension bridge in Bristol, which was built by I K Brunel (who built the first suspension bridge) completed in 1864 using chains from Hungerford bridge which he had also built. Actually the Menai suspension bridge, which crosses the Menai Straits between mainland North Wales and the Isle of Anglesey, was built by Thomas Telford and completed in 1826. So that would make it a lot earlier than the Clifton bridge.
How did the Inca make suspension bridge?
The Inca constructed suspension bridges using natural fibers such as grasses or straw, weaving them together to form strong cables. They anchored these cables on stone columns positioned at each end of the bridge and used wood or woven mats as walkways. The Inca's advanced engineering techniques allowed them to create durable and flexible bridges that could withstand the weight of people and goods traversing rugged terrains.

What is the name of the longest suspension bridge?
The beautiful Golden Gate Bridge is the large suspension bridge located in San Francisco, spanning the gateway between the opening of the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The length of the bridge from abutment to abutment is 1.7 miles, the width is 97 feet and the bridge weighs around about 887 thousand tons including anchorages and approaches. The bridge is painted Orange Vermillion, also known as International Orange, and needs constant touch ups to make sure the salt content in the air does not erode it.
