Spanish term or phrase: parte atirantada de la puente
This is about a bridge:

En el camellón central de la calzada Lázaro Cárdenas, sobre el que se levanta esta imponente estructura de 1.300 metros (que, solamente en su parte atirantada, tiene 165 metros), los activistas instalaron su campamento y se aprestaron a emprender una batalla cultural en defensa de la zona y en contra de la construcción del puente.

I think "puente atirantada" is a carrying bridge, but I cannot visualize what they are getting at here
Thanks!
