The bridge was the first in the United States to use a 'cable-stayed' design and is constructed almost entirely of prestressed concrete.
Cantilever wings require a much heavier spar than would otherwise be needed in cable-stayed designs.
The bridge is a cable-stayed design with a total span of 1,052 m (3,451 ft).
Among designs looked at, a cable-stayed design was studied, but not sufficiently understood at the time.
The award-winning cable-stayed design was done by Hanson Engineers of Springfield, Illinois.
One is a cable-stayed design, in which several cables flare out symmetrically from a central tower, to look like an inverted fan.
The bridge is of a cable-stayed design and will have a main span of 1,500 feet (457 m).
