		The second golden age of bridge construction was in the middle half of the 20th century as many monumental suspension bridges were built.
		This differs from a suspension bridge in that a suspension bridge has a suspension cable that runs from tower to tower, and the roadway is carried by down cables that link to the supsension cable.
		This results in a bridge that is relatively lightweight in construction, is far less costly than a metal cantilever brides, and uses far less cable than a suspension bridge.
