	Menai Suspension Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Menai Suspension Bridge from a viewpoint on the A4080 near the Britannia Bridge.
		The Menai Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge between the island of Anglesey and the mainland of Wales.
		Prior to the bridge's completion in 1826 the island had no connection to the mainland and all movement to and from Anglesey was by ferry (or, with difficulty, on foot at low tide).

	Suspension bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simple suspension bridges, for use by pedestrians and livestock, are still constructed in some places worldwide, based upon the ancient Inca rope bridge.
		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.

		These piers, besides being proportioned in cross-section to the weight they have to support, are widened out at their base, so as to dis,,ribute the load over a sufficient area for it to be borne by the stratum on which it rests without risk of settlement.
