Advantages of cantilevers -Building out from each end enables construction to be done with little disruption to navigation below. The span can be greater than that of a simple beam, because a beam can be added to the cantilever arms. Cantilever bridges are very common over roads. Because the beam is resting simply on the arms, thermal expansion and ground movement are fairly simple to sustain. Cantilever arms are very rigid, because of their depth.
Disadvantages of cantilevers - Like beams, they maintain their shape by the opposition of large tensile and compressive forces, as well as shear, and are therefore relatively massive. Truss construction is used in the larger examples to reduce the weight.The cantilever bridge's design allows for loads to be transferred to the supporting elements, leaving very little stress on the center bridge crossing. However, due to its size, this bridge is not the most economical option available.

Strengths are they are extremely strong And sturdy Weaknesses are they are expensive and use lots if materials even for short distances
Yes. The Quebec Bridge, which crosses the lower Saint Lawrence River in Canada, is the largest cantilever bridge in the world. Each cantilever spans 177m, and the total length of the bridge is 987m.
A Cantilever bridge is built from iron, structural steel and prestressed and reinforced concrete. These materials make the trusses, box girders, vertical columns and the canitlever itself.
The Story Bridge is a cantilever bridge spanning the Brisbane River.

i think a strength is that it is made out of iron and that the weakness is that is only supported on one end of the bridge. yaaas

Niagara Cantilever Bridge was created in 1883.
Yes, it is a cantilever bridge and it is one of the finest of such cantilever bridges of the world.Please see related links for some of the Howrah bridge technical details.
