| A suspension bridge is the type of a bridge, which is mainly concerned with the application of tension than compression. They are usually suspended by the main cables (chain or rope) that are anchored with the towers at both ends of the bridge. Earlier, towers were not provided in suspension bridges because they were usually constructed for short spans. But nowadays, among all the longest bridges of the world 14 bridges are suspension bridges.

| The suspension bridge construction is done in a sequential way. First the towers (which anchor the main cables), then main cables and lastly deck of the bridge are made. The construction may take few months, a year or decades to complete depending on the project.
