	About bridge loan
		Since most early bridges of this type were constructed largely of wood, it is typical that they are either formed from treated wood (typically using creosote) or are protected with a roof and enclosed in building-like siding, forming a covered bridge.
		These rope bridges must of course be periodically renewed owing to the limited lifetime of the materials, and rope components are made and contributed by families as contributions to a community endevor.
		A bridge type combining elements of a suspended-deck suspension bridge and a cable stayed bridge has been proposed as a replacement for the eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and would be the largest bridge this type constructed.

		APPENDIX A. The Wheeling Bridge Case in the Supreme Court in 1849-52 and 1854-56 is as interesting through its relations to the industrial history of the period as it is from the standpoint of constitutional questions involved.
		The story of the efforts to obtain the bridge is a long one, reflecting the industrial progress and energy of the West and the evolution of national policies and punctuated with the spice and pepper of rival memorials and resolutions.
		It declared that the bridge was not an appreciable inconvenience to the average class of boats and would not diminish the Pittsburg trade, and suggested that the chimneys of steamboats should be shortened or put on hinges for convenience in lowering.

	Suspension bridge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A suspension bridge is a bridge that consists of two pairs of pillars one on either end of the with two or more cables slung between them.
		The design was developed in the early 19th century (early examples include the Menai and Suspension Bridges (both opened in 1826) in Wales and the first Hammersmith Bridge (1827) in west London) and has become widely used since.
		The main forces in a suspension bridge are tension in the main cables and compression in the pillars.

	Context for World Heritage Bridges
		Several concepts that later became standard bridge practice first were illustrated in this volume: the tied arch, the Pauli or lenticular truss (in wood), the all-metal truss (in cast brass), a portable, metal chain-link suspension bridge, the use of metal in reinforcing wooden bridges, and the eye-bar tension member (again in brass).
		Bridges in areas other than Europe and the USA should be investigated, as the colonial empires of several nations were at their peak during the autumn years of the 19th century.
		This bridge, designed by E H Duggan and Phelps Johnson with Ralph Modjeski as consultant, was criticized by many engineers as being the ugliest, while the cantilever was generally regarded as a type, especially those of American origin, whose profile was unsightly despite their record lengths.

	Bridgemeister - Historical Inventory of Suspension Bridges
		Catwalk, gangway, ribbon, sagging, "droopy," and simple suspension bridges (where the deck sags along the curve of the cables) are generally omitted unless they have historical importance.
		Such suspension bridges are those that have a deck that droops, or those where the deck rests directly on the cables.
		For example, in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, when their 19th-century suspension bridge was replaced with a multispan truss, it was referred to as the "New Suspension Bridge".
