THE GREATEST BRIDGE IN THE WORLD

of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire It has been estimated that if the bridge were packed with cars, it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity However, size and strength are not the only important things about this bridge Despite its immensity, it is both simple and elegant, fulfilling its designer's dream to create "an enormous object drawn as faintly as possible"
