Seri Wawasan Bridge is an asymmetric cable‐stayed bridge with a 75º forward‐inclined pylon, which is located in Putrajaya Main Island Area.

This research project is brought out to study the construction method and design of cable‐stayed bridge. To accomplish this research project, a lot study materials are needed. The literature review involves a comprehensive study on the types of bridge currently used, the development of cable‐stayed bridge, the concept of cable‐stayed bridge and the bridge construction methods currently used.
