The design is intended to overcome the difficulties of building suspension towers in locations where the water is particularly deep. As of 2025 no such bridges have been built, but planning was done to build one in Norway, at Bjørnafjord, designed by engineer Ian Firth. The bridge was later turned into a floating pontoon bridge with a conventional cable-stayed bridge secured to bedrock. == See also == Floating cable-stayed bridge Cable-stayed suspension bridge Intercontinental and transoceanic fixed links Strait of Gibraltar Straits of Tiran == References == - [[Wiki-Architecture/Buildings and Structures]] - [[Wiki-Architecture/Individuals]] - [[History and Theory/Temple Architecture/Stone Temples of India/pillars]] - [[Landscape/Landscape Design]] - [[Environmental Design/Design Psychology]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/00 Index]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 5B - Prestressed Concrete]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 2 - Soils and Foundations]] - [[Building Services/HVAC Systems]] - [[Professional Practice/Client Management]] == Further reading == Floating suspension bridges - Long span bridges - Research - Structural Dynamics - Department of Structural Engineering - NTNU Moe, Ole Harald; Aas-Jakobsen, Ketil; Amdahl, Jørgen (2017).
