The CS30 employs an open dual spire which remains the signature shape of all GCS tower-based bridges. The CS Open Spire design allows the suspension to spread outward, away from the bridge deck. This design prevents the suspension from interfering with the decks dynamic load. Add the optional marine and anchorage piers for added height and detail. The deck has a prototypical length of 400', two tower span is 800'.

The CS30 employs a dual spire which remains the signature shape of all GCS tower-based bridges. The CS Open Spire design allows the suspension to spread outward, away from the bridge deck. This design prevents the suspension from interfering with the decks dynamic load.

In the real world, the CS30 would have stood about 106 feet tall with a span of 400 feet. This bridge uses twelve support cables, each of which would be approximately 16 inches in diameter. Each cable would have consisted of smaller cables that would have then been connected to the pre-stressed concrete bridge deck.

Use two or more additional CS30s to span over 60 inches or 800 feet.

Both modern and retro, we hope the GCS Open Spire® Cable-Stayed Suspension Bridge will be a key feature on your layout.
