Cable Stayed Bridge
The Cable Stayed Bridge has a deck that is suspended on cords from two towers. There is a deck support structure
at each end of the deck.
The modular approach to the construction of this structure is to build the deck in two halves and also build each
tower and deck support structure before trying to suspend the deck. Do not attach the Coaster Track to the deck
halves yet. Next, insert one half of the deck through one of the towers and use cord to suspend the deck from the
top of the tower. Repeat for the other half of the deck. Connect the ends of the deck halves to the deck support
structures and then connect the deck halves between the towers. Adjust the length of the cords so that the deck is
level. Finally, use Track Clips to attach the Coaster Track to the finished deck..
