The cables run straight from the towers to support the roadbed in your bridge. A true suspension bridge would have one cable running from an abutment on one end up to and across the towers and into another abutment at the other end, with more cables running down to the roadway to attach them to the initial cable. But this is very good and I suspect it is very sturdy. Technically, this is a Cable-stayed bridge. The cables run straight from the towers to support the roadbed in your bridge.

That means I have to build it with him with no knowledge. It's for a "show what you know" project at school where you pick a project and explain it. Can you help with the plans and directions? It has been super frustrating trying to find something on the net that's not too baby for him that gives instruction.

I wouldn't have guessed it took 3 months, it would probably take much longer. It actually does look very professional, so congratulations on making something this detailed! This looks amazing!
