Twenty years ago you crossed the river by sitting in a basket and pulling yourself along a mining cable suspended over the raging water.

Also, the vertical cables suspending the deck had their bolts replaced after a single detected failure.

In a suspended deck bridge, cables suspended via towers hold up the road deck.

Some reaction ferries operate using an overhead cable suspended from towers anchored on either bank of the river.

The weight of the cables suspending the girder was 250 tons.
