  • This bridge employs a mesh system, "Webnet," instead of traditional deck suspenders. From Jakob Rope Systems-Jakob AG literature about the project: "The wire mesh Webnet consists of 3 mm stainless steel ropes, with a construction of 6 × 19 + WC, which with sleeves, forms a mesh width of 80 mm. The Webnet is connected to 26 mm diameter suspension cables, which are 1 x 37 open spiral strand stainless cables, with Jakob Forte turnbuckles fitted at both ends."
