Oct. 13, 2010

The Bellevue Skybridge, which provides access between the mixed-use Lincoln Square and Bellevue Square shopping centers in Bellevue, Wash., required materials that gave it a modern appearance and were also corrosion resistant. Sclater Partners Architects designed the 107-foot steel-framed span using Ronstan Tensile Architecture stainless steel cables.

The cables require little maintenance or paint, according to the manufacturer. Ronstan Tensile Architecture
