Suspension bridges have been under use from the early 1800s. The length of span for suspension bridges varies from 600-2100m. The main components of a suspension bridge are the deck, main cable, vertical suspenders and towers. The cables are in tension and the towers are in compression.

Suspension bridges are still being built in large numbers because cable-stayed simply cannot reach central span lengths that suspension bridges can.

1, 200 meters is about the longest central spans that a cable stayed bridges can be expected to reach whereas building a suspension bridge with a central span of 2, 500 meters is very feasible.

I can't believe that nobody has commented on the fact that at the beginning of the video you're talking about the world's longest suspension bridge in Japan but you're showing the St Johns bridge in North Portland Oregon USA.

Thank you for the lovely facts 🙂
Hope to receive more bridge videos from you.

What is a 'wertika' cable? Is that it's technical name? We just call them suspender cables, or vertical cables.
