The edges of a cable stayed bridge do not touch the clouds because they are not high enough. The closest they come to entering the clouds is when fog rolls in.

The cable-stayed bridge is a type of bridge that is optimal for spans longer than is practical for cantilever bridges, and shorter than is economical for suspension bridges.
The primary building materials in cable-stayed bridges are steel, which is used in the cables and also as the reinforcing material in the concrete, which is the other primary building material.
Bridge towers are used in suspension bridges or cable stayed bridges. cables, what hold roadway, are fixed there.
The main advantage of a cable-stayed bridge is that it is under compression by the cables which makes it stronger. The main disadvantage of the cable-stayed bridge is that it is more susceptible to wind than other types of bridges.
I just found a website that said it was a cable-stayed bridge and a suspension bridge. I wonder why...

Advantage: It is strong. Also the cables won't break under extreme temperatures. Disadvantages: Wind is a big factor. It can rock the bridge side to side, causing the cables to become lose.
it will topple over if there is too much weight on one side ^_^
In simple terms, cable stayed use less cables then a suspension bridge. They are a combination of both beam and suspension. Suspension bridges hold the "deck" (where vehicles cross), via the cables, hence the term "suspension"; whereas, a cable stayed has the deck connected via the cables to anchorage points.
