Bridges play an important role for humanity. Their presence can reduce the time spent on the road and overcoming obstacles. A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the deck (the load-bearing portion) is hung below suspension cables on vertical suspenders.

The first modern examples of this type of bridge were built in the early 19th century. Bridges without vertical suspenders have a long history in many mountainous parts of the world. Here are some of the longest suspension bridges in the world.
