The longest bridges in the world are over 100km in length, why would this be too long?

Bridges can also be tall, if the concern is cutting boat traffic.

The only bridges approaching that length over water are causeways. The harbor is too deep for that, and again a causeway would not permit shipping traffic.

It would also be a massive eyesore
