A floating cable-stayed bridge is a type of cable-stayed bridge where the towers float on tension-leg submerged material, tethered to the seabed for buoyancy. No floating cable-stayed bridge has been made or planned yet, a floating suspension bridge has been planned in Norway. This bridge could be more stable horizontally across the bridge than floating suspension bridges, the lateral movement force from the wind and current in the water is a problem trying to be resolved by placing the tethered cables at different angles from the floating platform to the seabed.[1][2]
