TRIANGULATED STRUCTURE AF A BRIDGE OF A RAILWAY
They are made up of bars, usually metal or wood. Triangulation makes the structure non-deformable, which is a good solution for bridge construction -

WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE
Construction began in 1896, at a cost of $ 12,000,000.
The bridge is an unconventional structure, unlike other suspension bridges, although the main span hangs from cables in the usual way, the main span of the bridge is 488 m long.
