Suspension bridge types.html



There are several types of suspension bridge:

• Simple suspension bridge, a foundational type for pedestrians based upon the ancient Inca rope bridge.
• Stressed ribbon bridge, similar to the simple suspension bridge but more stable and usable for vehicles.
• Suspended-deck suspension bridge, the modern variation capable of carrying vehicles and light rail.
• Self-anchored suspension bridge, a composite of the cable-stayed bridge and the suspension bridge
