One small 'nit' to pick: That's not a "suspension" bridge, it's actually
a "cable-stayed" bridge. Similar idea, but different implementations. A true
suspension bridge would have two (or four) main cables, with
vertical 'suspenders' between the main cables and the bridge deck. (I had to
check with a friend of mine who designs bridges for a living...)
Yea, I'm a geek -- I know... <grin>
It's certainly an impressive bridge - that has to be one of the longest, if
not THE longest, LEGO bridge I've ever seen!
JohnG, GMLTC - our longest bridge was about 2 feet!
