#3048 - Suspension Bridge

Top panel labeled “Traditional Suspension Bridge” shows a standard suspension bridge spanning water, with towers, cables, and cars driving across.

Bottom panel labeled “Improved Suspension Bridge” shows the road dramatically draped over the bridge towers, forming steep slopes and ramps. A truck is partway up one slope, and a car is airborne over a labeled “Fun Jumps” section. Below the roadway, a boat passes in the water. Text labels indicate “Less Cable” and “More Clearance.”

Hidden text: "As a first step, they can put in a secondary deck, to help drivers try it out and find out how fun the jumps are. After a while no one will use the old flat deck and they can remove it."
