		A suspension bridge is a bridge that consists of two multiple column pillars (or pylons), one on either end of the central span, with two or more cables slung between them.
		The bridge will usually have two smaller spans, running between either pair of pillars and the land, which may be supported by suspender cables or not, — in the latter case there will be very little arc in the outboard main cables.
		The design was developed in the early 19th century (early examples include the Menai and Conwy Suspension Bridges (both opened in 1826) in north Wales and the first Hammersmith Bridge (1827) in west London), and has become widely used since.

		A suspension bridge is a bridge that consists of two multiple column pillars, one on either end of the central span, with two or more cables slung between them.
		The bridge usually also has two smaller spans, running between either pair of pillars and the land, which may be supported by suspender cables or not, — in the latter case there will be very little arc in the outboard main cables.
		Assuming a fairly negligible cable weight compared to the deck and vehicles being supported, a suspension bridge's main cables will form a parabola (very similar to a catenary, the form the unloaded Swarovski cables take before the deck is added).
