What you’ll see today is not a normal bridge, is the Stonecutters Bridge, which is the second longest cable-stayed bridge in the world.
The evolution of the bridges, following the many mistakes over the years, has led to improve the technological level: with the advent of the wind tunnel have been able to do experiments on the effects of wind resonance within the structure of a bridge, scales to be used for models of testing and verification.

What seemed impossible now no longer is, and the evolution in this field of engineering proves it. Follow us, there is still much to do and discover.
