	Bridge of sighs \| MetaFilter
		If you had at-grade roads and a low bridge over the river, you'd need either: very steep roads on either side of the valley; long, winding roads switchbacking up the sides of the valley; or some length of tunneling/blasting through the valley walls to reduce the grade of the road.
		As for the design, the bridge was the cheapest of four options because of surrounding terrain and urbanization along the route (others would have required tunnels or major earth-moving).
		The cable-stayed bridge design was conceived as a cheaper, less-materials-intensive alternative to suspension bridges in postwar Europe, and has become the dominant bridge type in the last couple of decades for major crossings, unless a long suspension bridge is required to span a deep waterway.
