Notes:

• GHD: "...asymmetrical bridge supported by a single pier."
• Ile aux Barques is now known as Ile Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
• This location is better known for the large underspanned suspension bridge completed in 1834 by Dufour (documented in great detail in reference GHD). The underspanned bridge is omitted from the Bridgemeister inventory. This entry is for the small footbridge that connected to the larger underspanned bridge.

Notes:

• This bridge employs a mesh system, "Webnet," instead of traditional deck suspenders. From Jakob Rope Systems-Jakob AG literature about the project: "The wire mesh Webnet consists of 3 mm stainless steel ropes, with a construction of 6 × 19 + WC, which with sleeves, forms a mesh width of 80 mm. The Webnet is connected to 26 mm diameter suspension cables, which are 1 x 37 open spiral strand stainless cables, with Jakob Forte turnbuckles fitted at both ends."
