Which type of footbridge also called a pedestrian bridge is shown in the picture?

Footbridges are also called pedestrian bridges, designed for use by people sometimes animals, but not vehicular traffic. The first bridges in history were made of wood and then stone bridges appeared in the 2nd century BCE over the Tiber River in Rome. Some of these ancient stone footbridges with arches still stand today. One is called Ponte Fabricio which was built in 62 BCE and still retains some of its original materials. Today, modern footbridges are made of a variety of material including wood, rope, metal and concrete.

The picture is a Simple Suspension Bridge in Nepal supported entirely from anchors at its ends. Its main cables or chains are free hanging and they follow a hyperbolic curve while holding the deck (platform that the person walks on). This style of foot bridges may also have light ropes or other material forming a handrail to help people cross it. Developing countries consider this design the most efficient and sustainable.
