Arguably the longest bridge is the Bang Na Expressway, in Bangkok, Thailand. It is 33.5 miles long (54 km), but is not considered a bridge because it does not cross a single body of water, instead crossing a river and canals.

The longest bridge running over a single body of water in the world is now the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China. 42km in length, it links China's eastern port city of Qingdao to the island of Huangdao. The bridge cost over $1.4 billion to build and was completed in mid-2011.

From what I've been able to find, at least until April 21,2008, the Sky Gate Bridge R, which links man-made island of Kansai Airport to the Japanese mainland is the longest truss bridge in the world. It has a length of 3750m, and was opened in March of 1994. Cited source: http://www.japanese-greatest.com/civil-engineering-construction/truss-bridge.html

The longest suspension bridge in the world is currently the Akashi-Kaikyō Bridge, also known as the Pearl Bridge. It links the Japanese city of Kobe on the mainland of Honshū to Iwaya on Awaji Island. The total length of all three spans of the bridge is 3,911 metres, while the central span has a length of 1,991 metres. The bridge was opened for traffic on 5 April 1998. The Indonesian government has approved the Sunda Strait Bridge which, if completed, will be the world's longest suspension bridge, with a total length of 26 km.
