Bridge types

[Phobos]

I found this on the net and I thought it was interesting to share with those people like me that always wondered what types of bridges are there,and their respective names.Unfortunately some types are lacking,such as the Cantilever ones...

Looks like a cable-stayed bridge to me, with the cables attached directly to the road platform.

Actualy those are not cables, more like beams.
So that's what puzzles me...

You forgot cable-stayed bridges, like Öresundsbridge (Copenhagen-Malmö bridge).

Supspension bridges are fine, steel arch ones are candy for eyes too.
