Figure 1 shows a hybrid cable-stayed suspension bridge that is used by motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians.
| Main span: | ≅ 80 m |

Suspension System
Figure 2 shows a schematic lateral view of the bridge.
The suspension system consists of stay cables, tie cables, and hanger rods. Figure 3 shows a side view of a main span sector.
The load path of the suspension system is shown in figure 4.
The mid-span stay cables S1 and/or S2 are always used as a load path. Load A is transferred to the the pylons and anchorages by hanger rod H1 and stay cables S1 and S2; load E is transferred by hanger rod H8, stay cable S6, four tie cables, and stay cable S1. Figure 5 shows the bridge in the mid-span region.
The mid-span node is shown in figure 6.
The stay and tie cables' end fittings consist of closed bridge sockets, and the hanger rods are U-shaped. The forces are transferred by four plates and two pins. The remaining nodes are arranged as shown in figure 7.
The forces are transferred by a single pin.
