V. Say in other words (use synonyms or terms instead of words and word-combinations in italics):

The Forth Railway Bridge bridges the navigable channel called the Firth of Forth. The Sunshine Skyway bridge stretches over the Tampa Bay. The former is a bridge made of cantilevers projecting from piers and connected by girders, the latter is a variation of suspension bridge in which the tension members extend from one or more towers at varying angles to carry the deck. The connecting spans of the Firth of Forth bridge, which are sustained entirely by the main horizontal structure members supporting vertical loads by resisting bending they connect, are built minimally to be as light as they can be. To say about the Sunshine Skyway construction, more than 300 concrete segments ready for use were connected together with high-strength steel thick strong metal ropes to form the part of the road used by vehicles.
