  3. Cable Stayed vs. Suspension • To span a medium distance (500 to 2500 feet), a cable-stayed bridge takes less cable than a suspension bridge • To span a long distance (2500 to 7000 feet) a suspension bridge is more efficient. At some point, the towers for a cable-stayed bridge become too tall and have to carry too much weight, making them impractical.
