High modulus- no bending High yield strength- no deformation Hardness- compatible with screw Fracture toughness- no fracture
Handel (PMMA)
Modulus- not very critical Friction coefficient- easy to grip Ease of fabrication- wood vs PMMA Texture/appearance- feels right Isolation safe against electricity Price- cheap

Specifications
Structure The weight of the roadway is hung from two cables that pass through the two main towers and are fixed in concrete at each end. Each cable is made of 27,572 strands of wire. There are 80,000 miles (129,000 km) of wire in the main cables.[24] The bridge has approximately 1,200,000 total rivets.
