Cable-Stayed Bridge
Ages: 8+
A cable-stayed bridge is a bridge that has one or more columns, with cables directly supporting the bridge deck. There are two main types of cable-stayed bridges. In the harp design, the cables are nearly parallel. This is done by attaching them to various points on the towers. In a fan design, the cables all connect to or pass over the top of the towers. In this project, we will build a harp design cable-stayed bridge.
