A cantilever bridge can be built using a single beam extending from an anchor point on land. Alternatively they can be built using the see-saw principle.

In a cantilever bridge, with the space between the cantilevered portion spanned by a suspended deck, the compression and tension are straightforward.

This diagram shows a cantilever bridge supporting a load. This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. This type of bridge has been used for pedestrians, trains, and motor vehicles.

As you can see in this diagram above, from Merriam-Webster, a load will put weight on the deck. Click on a date/time to view the file as it appeared at that time. The steel truss cantilever bridge was a major engineering breakthrough when first put into practice, as it can span distances of over 1,500 feet (460 m), and can be more easily constructed at difficult crossings by virtue of using little or no falsework.A cantilever bridge is constructed using cantilevers, which are horizontal structures supported only on one end. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.Add a one-line explanation of what this file representsI, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license:(SVG file, nominally 1,050 × 654 pixels, file size: 13 KB) From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository. The bridge project could have turned out very differently. Cantilever bridges are subject to the two basic forces that are in effect for all bridges. Rather than anchoring the cantilever at each end it is balanced on a pier, so greater distances can be crossed. With the right materials and engineering, a steel truss cantilever bridge can span well over 1,500 feet (460 m). A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using a cantilever.A cantilever is only supported on one end.

For large cantilever bridges, designed for road or rail traffic the cantilevers are trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete. The diagram shows the piers, decks and anchor points of a cantilever bridge.

This type of bridge has been used for pedestrians, trains, and motor vehicles.

The bridge has an overall length of 987m, was completed in 1917 and opened to traffic in 1919.
