What structures hold a bridge up?
A suspension bridge suspends its load from main cables that run along both sides of the structure. The beam bridge is the oldest and most common type of bridge. A beam bridge is a horizontal structure, with beam supports at each end, and piers between the beams.

How are beam and suspension bridges alike?
A suspension bridge deck is suspended from above on a catenary cable between two fixed points. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge. Using suspension techniques, great spans with minimum obstruction under can be created. A beam or truss (reinforced beam) bridge deck is supported from underneath on a construction of beams or arches (bent beams). longer, stronger spans favour the beam truss method of construction, especially where wind generated sway is an issue. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a Beam/Truss bridge.

What is the difference between beam bridge and an arch bridge?
Arch bridge: the span beam of bridge is the shape of an arch & the load is diverted in compressive method. Beam bridge: the shape of beam span is of simply supported or continuous. here the load is diverted through bending compression method.
What is common to the following terms-beam arch suspension and cantilever?

Is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge a suspension bridge?
The Oresund Bridge is a Cable-stayed bridge. The primary difference between a suspension bridge and a cable stayed bridge is the load bearing structure. In suspension bridges, this is the cable itself, which transfers the load into large structures set into the earth at the ends of the bridge. In the cable stayed bridge design, the load is taken primarily by the bridge towers. A more detailed explanation of the differences is available in the related link.
