As Professor Farquharson’s studies progressed, modifications on the bridge continued. Tie-down cables were positioned on the bridge’s sides and wires were stretched diagonally across the bridge’s deck and main cables. Thus, the problem was believed to be solved. However, one of the reinforcing tie-down cables, placed only a month prior, snapped due to high speed winds on November 1.
