"Cast iron towers mounted on concrete base."
"Under deck details. Two cables running under the bridge deck."
"The under deck cables are anchored below the access ramps."
"The main cables are anchored to a large concrete block at one side of the bridge. Any concrete block at the other side of the bridge is buried under the soil."
"Bridge deck detail."
"Hanger/main suspension cable joint detail."
"Roller where the bracing cables meet the bridge deck. As you can see the cables lack any real tension."
