They are suspension bridges. One of the well known examples is the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Why do people use pylons?
People use pylons to support and elevate various structures such as electrical cables, bridges, and buildings. Pylons are designed to provide stability and support, helping to distribute the weight of the structures evenly and prevent collapse.
Which type of bridge can span the longest distance?
The Suspension bridge is usually the longest type of bridge in the world. That's the bridge that has two tall towers, and cables linking the towers, and from the cables are wires that hold up the bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA is a famous suspension bridge.
Can you use wire to support a bridge?
Yes. They're called suspension bridges. The Golden Gate Bridge outside San Francisco is one of them. The suspension cables are made out of wire. Very thick wire but wire non the less.
What differentiates suspension bridges from normal bridges?
Suspension bridges are built to make use of tension, whereas most other types of bridges make use of compression to bear their load. Suspension bridges are usually designed with the deck suspended below a series of towers by cables. Other types of bridges are generally either designed with the deck being supported from below by pillars, or made up of an arch.
Why are bridges declared unsafe after long use?
Due to repeated stress and strain, the material used in the bridges loses elastic strength and ultimately may be collapsed. Hence, bridges are declared unsafe after long use
How is the suspension bridge different from most other modern bridges?
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.
What effect does gravity have on bridges?
The primary effect of gravity on a bridge is that it keeps it "in place" in the wind. The massive weight of the bridge is a key part of its structure and of its structural integrity. Certainly gravity acts to "pull the bridge down" in effect, but we use that to stabilize the structure, turning a "negative" into a "positive" in that light. Gravity transfers forces to the structures that support the bridge, and, in the case of (most) suspension bridges, hold the ends of the main cables to the massive blocks set to maintain the tension of those cables.
What features of an Arch bridge is strong?
Bridges typically have three characteristics and are built into three different types. These include truss bridges, beam bridges, and suspension bridges.
Can I output S-Video from my PlayStation to my TV?
Playstation models don't support the use of S-Video cables. All models use standard A/V connections and the Ps 2 and 3 support component cables. The only model supporting HDMI is the Playstation 3 model.
Why were arches used in arch bridges?
because to give long span we use arch
How have bridges improved overtime?
Bridges have gone from simple wooden structures to strong iron and steel structures because of the advance in materials and technology. There are also more people working on building these bridges, so more complex structures can be built in a shorter time.
What cables and/or cords are required for VCR mounts?
There are no special cables or cords required to use a VCR mount. The cables used to connect the VCR to the TV and the wall should be sufficient as long as they are long enough. To see more information on VCR mounts, visit http://www.mountsmadesimple.com/?gclid=CL2EubHHu6kCFUY0QgodUGqreQ
