Notes:

• This footbridge is "convertible" because it can be raised to make way for boats. The backstays are shortened using jacks causing the towers to tilt back and the deck to arch up and out of the way. Eckhard Bernstorff notes, "the deck (weight 150 tons) has 14 segments. When the towers tilt back by shortening the main cables about 2.5 meters, the deck lifts 9 meters."

• From an old Kentucky Transportation Cabinet web page: "Interested in seeing the world's longest plastic bridge? Visit Johnson County, where the 410-ft-long Forest and Maxie Preston Memorial Pedestrian Bridge recently opened. The bridge was built from a high performance composite material - glass fiber that is reinforced with plastic resins."
• A University of Kentucky web page refers to the deck material as "glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites."

Notes:

• In a paper title "Construction of Nagisa Bridge Hybrid System of Cable Stayed PC Bridge and Steel Suspension Bridge" (by Yuzuru Sato, et. al.) the bridge is described as "The structure of this bridge is a hybrid structure of cable-stayed prestressed concrete bridge and steel suspension bridge. It is the first application as this structure type of bridge in the world. Concrete girders near pylons are supported by stay cables. Steel girders are supported by suspension cables in the central part of the span. This is new type system for prestressed concrete bridges with longer span and has many structural features compared with ordinary cable-stayed bridge and suspension bridge." and makes comparison to Arnodin suspension bridges where cable stays are the primary support for part of the deck.

O'Donnell shares: "[This is a] bridge to the north and south galleries/fortifications of the Værdalske Fortifications - a group of fortifications along Jamtlandsvegen (Fylkesvei 72) in Verdal municipality in Nord-Trøndelag. These facilities were built as a result of the strained situation between Norway and Sweden following the dissolution of the union in 1905. The fortresses are part of Stjør- and Værdalske fortifications, and should protect Trøndelag against any attack from the east."

• Eckhard Bernstorff describes the bridge: "Horizontal curved deck, monotower beside deck; Cable connection to anchors at first view looks similar to some self anchored bridges." Though, also notes the bridge is gravity-anchored.
