| Normandy Bridge near Le Havre, France, is one of the world’s longest cable-stayed suspension bridges, with a main span of 856 m (2808 ft). The bridge opened to traffic in January 1995. Unlike conventional suspension bridges, which use two massive cables, cable-stayed bridges employ numerous smaller cables attached to two large towers or pylons. | ||||||
