Taper suspension bridge to have survived. Taper suspension bridge The taper suspension bridge (also known as the taper principle) is a bridge design patented by James Dredge in 1836. On a conventional suspension bridge the whole deck is suspended on vertical cables, rods or chains from a single cable or chain slung between two supporting towers. The taper suspension bridge that James Dredge devised in the early nineteenth century differs from the conventional suspension bridge design in that it is, in effect, a double cantilever bridge. Each of the opposing cantilever systems are self-supporting. The cantilever half-deck structure of each cantilever is suspended
Baltic Cable the only crossing of two submarine HVDC cables in the Baltic Sea and one of the only few worldwide. From the landing point at the southern coast of Sweden at , the Baltic-Cable runs a further as an underground cable until a point east of the road E6 at , where inside a fenced area the transition from underground cable to overhead powerline takes place. From there the powerline runs as overhead line over two suspension pylons in north-northwesterly direction until the first strainer at . There the line turns into north-northeasterly direction and runs over seven suspension pylons past
