Reason
Detached version

Photos of famous bridges do not adequately show how large they are compared to one another. This SVG shows them all at the same scale, and lets the viewer highlight them interactively.

Additionally, the en:Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, the first bridge in 20+ years to become the world's longest span, is planned to open on 2022-02-26,[1] and I think it appropriate to mark the occasion.

If the diagram is too cluttered, an alternative is here, though it's harder to compare their heights etc. -- cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ
