What is a "cable-stayed bridge"?
A cable-stayed bridge is a type of bridge that uses cables to support the deck, which is the surface that vehicles and pedestrians travel on. In this design, the cables are connected directly to one or more vertical towers, called pylons, which bear the weight of the bridge. The cables are arranged in a fan-like pattern, creating a strong and stable structure. Cable-stayed bridges are known for their aesthetic appeal and can span long distances, making them suitable for highways, railways, and pedestrian pathways. They provide excellent support for heavy loads while offering a modern and attractive design.
