The lateral bending in the towers enables a simple slab cross section for the roadway deck; complicated box cross sections, necessary for central towers with one plane of cables can be avoided.

The towers exhibit a very big lateral bending resistance in view of bending forces due to unilateral live load or curvature of the deck in plan.
