A suspension bridge is usually used when the distance between ground anchor points is too great for a cantilevered bridge to support its own weight, and there is not enough room under the road span for an arched bridge.
A large distance between ground anchor points can be for many reasons; because solid ground is too far underwater for a tower, because the ground is not stable enough to support a tower, or sometimes simply for aesthetics.
