A suspension bridge is a bridge that consists of two multiple column pillars, one on either end of the span, with two or more cables slung between them. The bridge deck is suspended from vertical cables or rods attached to the main cables. The main cables continue beyond the pillars, and are anchored in the ground. The bridge also has two smaller spans, running between either pair of pillars and the land.
