Two 3500-ft. Span suspension foot bridges rigid without stiffening trusses
Construction of two catwalk suspension foot-bridges, with sag of 325 ft. between tower tops, 3500 ft. apart, of Hudson River Bridge, New York; two floor platforms, 1 mi. long, were supported by thirty-six 2 15/16-in. twisted steel ropes and stabilized by novel funicular storm systems, completely eliminating serious distortions and wind vibrations; footwalks cost about $600,000.
