Tower Bridge is primarily supported by two massive towers made of steel and granite. These towers are connected by horizontal walkways, which help distribute the weight and provide structural stability. Additionally, the bridge is supported by a combination of suspension cables and a bascule mechanism that allows the central span to lift for passing ships. This combination of design elements enables both the strength and functionality of the iconic structure.
