Built in A.D. 804, the 533-foot-long, 17-foot-wide oak span

I'm having a hard time believing this

Flisa Bru Hedemark - Norway, completed 2002 using modern techniques and laminated wood - the 233' main span is still less than half that.

The difference is, it wasn't a clear-span, it was more like a dock built to cross.
