	Suspension Bridges
		A suspension bridge is one where cables (or ropes or chains) are strung across the river (or whatever the obstacle happens to be) and the deck is attached or 'suspended' from these cables.
		The force of compression pushes down on the suspension bridge's deck, but because it is a suspended roadway, the cables transfer the compression to the towers which dissipate the compression directly into the earth where they are firmly entrenched.
		The cables are literally stretched from the weight of the bridge and its traffic as they run from anchorage to anchorage.

		But long-span cable-supported bridges are the most astonishing of these.
		Today the suspension bridge reaches a free span of almost 2000m (Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, Japan) while its cable-stayed counterpart can cross almost 1000m (Tatara Bridge, Japan, Normandie Bridge, France).
		Cable-supported bridges therefore play an important role in the overcoming of barriers that had split people, nations and even continents before.

		Shikoku is one of the less developed regions of Japan, south of the main island of Honshu across the Seto Inland Sea, with four prefectures and a total population of about four million.
		Thus each is scheduled to have its own bridge route to Honshu: Ehime to Hiroshima in the future, Tokushima to Hyogo in spring 1998, and Kagawa to Okayama since 1988, via the Seto Great Bridge, the world's largest train-highway bridge, which cost 13 lives and the equivalent of US $10 billion.
		Even the so-called countryside of Japan is quite urbanized, but Shikoku somewhat merits the slogan "Blue-Green Country," with its low rainfall and pine-forested mountains.
