An underspanned suspension bridge (also upper deck suspension bridge [1]) is a rare type of suspension bridge that was developed in the early 19th century. Overview
In an underspanned suspension bridge, also called under-deck cable-stayed bridge, [21] the main cables hang entirely below the bridge deck, but are still anchored into the ground in a similar way to the conventional type. Very few bridges of this nature have been built, as the deck is inherently less stable than when suspended below the cables.

Underspanned suspension bridge: an early 19th-century descendant of the simple suspension bridge. The deck is raised on posts above the main cables.
