		Last week, the Federal Bridge Corporation, which is responsible for the Jacques Cartier Bridge, refused to give barriers the go-ahead, and an official said Toronto's experience was a factor.
		Mishara said most people who attempt to jump off the Jacques Cartier are disturbed and anguished, and a barrier would give them time to reconsider their impulsive act.

		The bridge is now widely known for two things: having protesters climb it to call attention to their cause, and people using it to kill themselves.
		Also, if you go see the fireworks on the bridge, do be careful when walking under the bridge because some weirdos find it funny to drop off their beer bottles of the bridge.

		The top chord of many truss bridges, such as the Queensborough bridge and the Jacques Cartier bridge, is curved, though the Forth bridge and the Quebec use straight chords.
		In the case of the Forth bridge, which is narrower at the top than the bottom, (no doubt in response to the collapse of the Tay bridge) the support of the railway track is not simple.
		Many cantilever bridges have the entire lower chord aligned with the deck, which has the added advantage that the entire span has a high clearance for shipping, if need be.
