It appears that the intended final design includes suspension cables, but it looks like it was installed without them attached?

It looks like a typical cable-stayed bridge. Often spans are installed in advance of cables by omitting heavy elements, like the deck, so the span is self supporting. The cables are then installed and anchored and the deck is fitted.

A little early for jokes about a situation where people are (presumably?) still being rescued/recovered.

That’s putting it lightly. People have certainly been killed.
