About this converter
Duge sets the deck mark at 565 m over the Beipan River, 69 clear of Siduhe at 496. Puli at 485, Yachi at 434 and Qingshuihe at 406 keep China on top. Baluarte in Mexico at 403 and Hegigio in Papua New Guinea at 393 lead outside China. Liuchonghe at 375 and Shuibai at 363 follow. Millau in France closes at 343 structural top with its deck at 270. Deck height means road to ground or water, not pylon top. That split matters most at Millau, where the mast runs far above the road.
How to use it
Pick two bridges and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Duge against Millau deck at 270 to see more than double. The bars below scale to Duge so Millau looks short. Switch the unit to feet for US figures. Ratios are exact divisions of the listed deck heights except Millau structural noted.
Two heights exist per bridge. Deck height rules this page. Millau deck is 270 m while pylon top is 343 m. We list 343 as structural with deck noted, since sources rank Millau by top. Baluarte at 403 ranks above Hegigio at 393 by deck, though build years differ. Chinese deck totals shift with reservoir levels by a few meters. Figures follow Wikipedia List of highest bridges with Millau official spec.
