A self-anchored suspension bridge is a type of suspension bridge in which the main cables are anchored directly to the ends of the bridge deck, rather than to large external ground anchorages. This design balances the cable tension with compression in the deck and towers, making it suitable for locations where constructing massive anchor blocks is difficult due to poor soil conditions or limited space. However, because the deck must support the cable forces, these bridges require temporary falsework during construction and are generally used for shorter spans than conventional suspension bridges (Wikipedia).
