The bridge was the city's tallest structure until 1967. According to Guinness World Records, it is the widest long-span bridge in the world and is the highest steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 meters (429.6 feet) above the harbor. It is also the fourth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world.
