Notes:

  • June 2014: Damaged when a tractor, well over the posted weight limit, tried to cross and broke through the bridge deck. Reopened August 23, 2018 after an "extensive reconstruction" that completely replaced the deck and possibly cables. After reconstruction, the weight limit was increased from 3 tons to 20 tons.
  • November 2009: Closed due to safety concerns after six cable strrands were found to be broken. Repaired June-August 2010 and reopened.
