Knowing that the distance between towers above is 3,800 feet I calculated that 6,400 feet of bridge is shown. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is 6,532 feet from tower to tower, or just slightly more than what's shown in the photo. Also the three spans of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge are 12,831 feet, or twice the photo's width.
