What is a "suspension bridge"?
A suspension bridge is a type of bridge that is held up by cables suspended between towers. These cables support the bridge deck, which is the surface that vehicles and pedestrians travel on. The design allows for longer spans compared to other bridge types, making it suitable for crossing wide rivers or deep valleys. Suspension bridges are known for their distinctive look, with tall towers and gracefully arched cables. They are engineered to handle heavy loads and can withstand strong winds and other environmental factors, ensuring stability and safety for those using the bridge.
