Cable-Stayed Bridge
Great choice!



Cable-stayed bridges, like the Sunshine Skyway in Florida, have become one of the most popular bridge types in recent years. The roadway hangs from cables like a suspension bridge, forming a unique "A" shape. The mayor is happy because the bridge is made mostly of concrete, a relatively cheap material. The residents are thrilled because ships can pass beneath the bridge without causing traffic jams!
