Cable-stayed bridge (related)

A cable-stayed bridge is a type of bridge where the roadway is supported by cables directly connected to tall towers or pylons. These cables run diagonally from the towers to the deck, distributing the weight and providing stability. Unlike suspension bridges, where cables form a curve, cable-stayed bridges use multiple straight cables attached at different angles. This design allows for longer spans, a sleek appearance, and efficient use of materials, making them ideal for crossing wide waterways or valleys while maintaining strong structural support.
