Below are the rankings of the longest cable-stayed bridge in each state as measured by the main span(s) of the bridge, as of March 6. 2021. Ties are included, so some states may appear more than once as a result. When a bridge crosses state lines, both states are included, unless there is another cable-stayed bridge which is longer for one of the states. Those bridges shown in italics, the author has traveled across. 

Any additions, corrections, or suggestions are most welcome.
