Don Burnett pedestrian / bicyclist suspension bridge >>>>>> That bridge looks all steel and very lightweight compared to the double deck concrete bridge that pancaked in Miami. Something like this would have been a better idea for Miami. Just made wider for more foot traffic and bicycles.

The lightweight Don Burnett bridge is easier to cable suspend than concrete decks.
