What Wikipedia says

A cable-stayed bridge is a type of bridge that has one or more towers (or pylons), from which cables support the bridge deck. A distinctive feature is the presence of cables or stays, which run directly from the tower to the deck, normally forming a fan-like pattern or a series of parallel lines.
