Like a spider spinning its web, experts will create the wire rope cables and connect the strands from one anchorage to the other. Precision is the key as the bridge builders link the strands to the anchorages. An adjustment, here and an adjustment there, and the cables are set in place. Squeezing gangs begin the work of compacting the strands into a perfect cylinder of cable. Work crews dismantle the footbridge and its cable.
Skilled workers install the cable bands on the completed main cables.
Stringers weave the suspenders from the cables. Steelworkers attach the stiffening trusses to the suspenders. Road crews lay the steel flooring. And the finishing touches create a finished roadway. The Suspension Bridge is now a reality.
