A-shaped tower supports rhine bridge
100 ft wide Severin bridge is unique structure of asymmetric suspension carried by single A-shaped steel tower; tower pier is located near right bank to provide minimum obstruction to river traffic; shorter suspension span is 495 ft and larger 990 ft long; steel bridge deck is stiffened orthotropic plate resting on two continuous steel box girders; five approach spans are total of 740 ft long; 6 sets of cables for each suspension span fan out from top of tower.
