List of cable-stayed bridges

The list of cable-stayed bridges is a list of the first modern cable-stayed bridges , which were completed in the period from 1950. The number of ropes is only mentioned in the first section to illustrate the transition from the initial period with a few ropes to the subsequent period with a different number of ropes. Well over 1000 cable-stayed bridges have now been built, but they are not mentioned here. The choice must necessarily be arbitrary; it is an attempt to show the diversity of construction methods and the different meanings of the bridges.

Initially, pylons were usually made of steel, later on they switched to reinforced concrete pylons .

Remarks

1. ↑ ^{a b c} In the column steel / concrete / composite the material of the bridge deck is given, whereby under concrete is to be understood prestressed concrete and composite designates a composite structure made of steel and concrete.
2. ↑ This is also claimed from the Crimean Bridge , but the Crimean Bridge connects Europe (Crimea) with Asia (depending on the definition) and the approach routes that lead overland and are sometimes only stilted are included
