A cable-stayed bridge is optimal for spans longer than a cantilever bridge and shorter than a suspension bridge. This type of bridge is characterised by its towers or pylons and cables/stays which run directly from the tower/s to the deck, forming a fan-like shape or a series of parallel lines. There are many examples of this type of bridge all over the world and many of the designs are architecturally beautiful structures. By building this kit, you can have your very own!
