	Suspension bridge Summary
		This bridge design stands as a celebration of the ingenuity of engineers and the elegance and artistry of an efficient and economical means of closing wide and deep spaces in cities, along waterways, and in steep terrain.
		The main forces in a suspension bridge are tension in the main cables and compression in the pillars.
		However in a rope bridge the deck itself is suspended from the anchored piers and the guardrails are non-structural.

		Authorities are also reporting that as of Saturday, sales of the automatic OGS and KGS systems (which will now, in the wake of the elimination of cash tolls from the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, be required for vehicles wishing to cross that bridge) are fewer than expected.
		Another interesting aspect to these new changes is that it seems the authorities never noticed that the real traffic blockage was also occurring after the cars were passing through tolls on the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge.
