On a suspension bridge, the ourter ends of the cables are attached to an ancorage, which has extreme mass and strength to maintain cable tension. On a truss bridge, the ends are called abutments. Both structures are built at or about the approach or approach embankments to the bridge, and we use different terms because of the difference in the loads they have to handle. Use the link below to a bit of bridge terminology. It isn't all there, but it's a good start.
