Pinang Bridge Illustration Error

[HighestBridges.com]

I would like to point out a large mistake on the Bridge Tower Diagrams page. The Jambatan Pulau Pinang cable stayed bridge tower was erroneously scaled to be 225 meters high when in fact the tower is only 101.5 meters high. The mistake is obvious when you also note how ridiculously wide the roadway deck is in relation to other the other large bridge diagrams. The error almost surely came from the fact that the main span length is 225 meters which is actually quite small for a cable stayed bridge.

Note the image and specs on this thread a little ways down.

Thank you for the information. This drawing is sittin' here with us almost 10 years and nobody noticed somehow! We hope someone will draw this bridge on the real scale.

Also, I added some more info to the entry
