===Cable-stayed cradle-system bridge=== A cradle system carries the strands within the stays from the bridge deck to bridge deck, as a continuous element, eliminating anchorages in the pylons. Each epoxy-coated steel strand is carried inside the cradle in a one-inch (2.54 cm) steel tube. Each strand acts independently, allowing for removal, inspection, and replacement of individual strands. The first two such bridges are the [[Penobscot Narrows Bridge]], completed in 2006, and the [[Veterans' Glass City Skyway]], completed in 2007.<ref>{{cite press release |publisher= American Society of Civil Engineers |url= http://news.thomasnet.com/companystory/515472 |title= Bridging To The Future Of Engineering |date= 12 March 2007 |access-date= 8 March 2008 |archive-date= 10 October 2008 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081010044956/http://news.thomasnet.com/companystory/515472 |url-status= dead }}</ref>
