Abstract
With the completion of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the Storebælt East Bridge the development of the suspension bridge technology in the 20th century has manifested itself in two impressive structures. With the present echnology may bridges of similar (and also more modest) dimensions will undoubtedly be built far into the next century.
For bridges going beyond the spans of existing bridges it is, however, likely that new concepts will be developed.
