	Cable-stayed bridge at AllExperts
		This has the disadvantage, compared to the suspension bridge, that the cables pull to the sides as opposed to directly up, requiring the roadbed to be stronger to resist these loads; but has the advantage of not requiring firm anchorages to resist a horizontal pull as in the suspension bridge.
		A self-anchored suspension bridge is similar in principle to the cable stayed type in that tension forces that prevent the deck from dropping are converted into compression forces vertically in the pylon and horizontally along the deck structure.
		Bridge: the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Western Hemisphere, spanning the Cooper River in Charleston, South Carolina.

	New York Times - 24 May 1983 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The bridge did not make modern New York happen, of course, but the fact that the bridge itself happened - that New York City could build a monument that was so brilliant a synthesis of art and technology - served as a convenient symbol of the city's new power as a world capital.
		A great bridge is, after all, a romantic object as well as a technological one; it brings a kind of ceremony to the act of crossing a river that nothing else, surely not a tunnel, can ever have.
		When the bridge was being built, it was an effort that mobilized the entire city; watching and celebrating its construction concerned all of New York, in a way that almost suggests how the making of the cathedrals preoccupied whole villages in the Middle Ages.
