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.
