If you are talking about the balsa wood then you just need to just the wood into necessary parts of the suspension bridge.Download pictures of suspension bridge and then carve out the lower part with roads and put holes on the sides of the flat wood for lower part.Then make the towers to which the cables are attached.You can either design yours or see the picture and carve or cut them out.Let the shape be simple as you want it to be easily and quickly done.Drill holes in the tower at the top on the sides so to attach the cables.Make sure that the pillars or towers are much larger in length as you will see it in the picture you shall download(** MAKE ONLY ONE PILLAR JUST TO SYMBOLIZE).So let the towers be like that.Get the cables either of plastic strings or some soft metal strings and let them pass through holes and tie a knot at the ends to fix them there.Making the bridge out of the balsa wood shall be a not more than 8 hours of consistent working.So Just make sure what you are making and draw out what you are going to make how it is going to look. Using a different material might reduce time like thermocol sheets but as they are fragile so it can be difficult to do the job with them.

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.
What type of bridge is supported or hung from cables?
This may be a suspension bridge or a cable stayed bridge. For more information please see the related links.
Is a suspension bridge better than a cable stayed bridge?
NOcable stayed bridge is more preferred because if one rope is broken in it then tension is distributed in all other and we get time to repair it that means no sudden failure in it where as in suspension bridge if main cable is cut than it will be destroyed immediately.regardsmukulmukul_ce@student.iitd.ac.in
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.
