Watching that video he talks about the column and cables in the middle of the bridge supporting it after construction - The design doesn't include a pier under that tower so can someone who's more mechanically inclined describe how it even helps the strength of the bridge? From my perspective, the more you tension those support cables, the more you're going to bow the center of the span towards the roadway.
