The four main cables are composed of parallel wires carried back and forth across the river, each containing 61 strands of 434 individual wires.

In the series of suspension bridges... cables of parallel wires were invariably used.... In Canada, cables of stranded-wire ropes have been adopted.... A third variant, known as "locked-coil" cables, in which the wires of each strand are specially shaped so as to form a smooth circumference, was used in the Cologne-Mulheim Bridge over the Rhine in West Germany.  3, record 2, English, - locked%2Dcoil%20cable

Le câble peut être réalisé selon deux procédés différents : par simple juxtaposition de fils parallèles (...) ou par juxtaposition de câbles toronnés obtenus en usine par torsion des fils (...) Pour augmenter la résistance à la corrosion, on utilise parfois des câbles "clos", dont la couche extérieure est constituée de fils de forme telle qu'ils procurent au câble une "peau" cylindrique et fermée.  4, record 2, French, - c%C3%A2ble%20clos
