Cable-stayed bridge Cable-stayed bridge A cable-stayed bridge has one or more "towers" (or "pylons"), from which cables support the bridge deck. A distinctive feature are the cables or stays, which run directly from the tower to the deck, normally forming a fan-like pattern or a series of parallel lines. This is in contrast to the modern suspension bridge, where the cables supporting the deck are suspended vertically from the main cable, anchored at both ends of the bridge and running between the towers. The cable-stayed bridge is optimal for spans longer than cantilever bridges and shorter than suspension bridges. This is the
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
