    A very general question, what is a cantilever bridge , and how does it vary from other types of bridges ?

    Since cantilever beams are beams which are supported rigidly at one end and free at the other, then how does the cantilever bridge live up to its name ?

    The cantilever bridge has two cantilevers projecting from either bank. The projecting ends are linked by a suspension span.

    The Howrah Bridge is one of the finest examples of a cantilever bridge.

    bridge formed by two projecting beams or trusses that are joined in the center by a connecting member and are supported on piers and anchored by counterbalancing members.
