New York's DUMBO neighborhood is named for one of these structures. An early example of these things at Clifton was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The largest example of this type of structure, named Akashi Kaikyo, is a few miles from downtown Kobe, Japan. The son of John Roebling, a pioneer of these edifices, was injured while building one of their caissons. One of these in California is continually painted international orange; another, nicknamed Galloping Gertie, collapsed into Puget Sound. For 10 points, name this type of two-towered, gap-spanning structure supported by cables, whose examples span Tacoma Narrows and the Golden Gate.
