The cable run the full length of the bridge. The cables are underslung in the middle section of the bridge, and it is on this section that the pedestrian walkway/Beaumont rests.

I understand the force path.

But can anyone describe to me about the suspension cables.
Do they run the entire length of the bridge and go along with the deck (down the pedestrian walkway)?
OR do they run to the deck, and then it is ONLY the deck providing the support?

The bridge is beautiful.

Do you think you can send me a link or larger images of the posts? I need to be able to see the measurements. Can you also do the same for the River Soar Bridge? Thanks.

The new story showing the River Soar bridge is interesting.
Looks like the same bridge scaled down in a different location.
