In the self-anchored suspension bridge, however, the cable must be anchored to the bridge deck, which has yet to be built and will not bear its own weight; ergo, falsework must be employed until the final method of suspension is possible. The cables apply strong axial forces onto the bridge girders, which may require strengthening.
