Why did the public demand that architects leave the support structures of the Washington Bridge open?

The public demanded that architects leave the support structures of the Washington Bridge open because it has aesthetic value. The exposed steel tower that has a criss-crossed bracing design is the most identifiable characteristics of the bridge.

The Washington Bridge is very beautiful to look at. Because of the cables and steel beams, the bridge gleams like a reversed arch with the sky as the background.
