Notes:

• Sometimes cited as completed 1897, 1899, or "around 1899".
• Sometimes attributed to Mitchell and Pigg, but that would have been several years before the earliest bridges typically attributed to Mitchell and Pigg. Mitchell and Pigg are more clearly associated with the 1909 replacement of this Pease River bridge. Texas suspension bridge dominant builder history generally evolved from Flinn/Moyer (1890s, early 1900s) to Mitchell/Pigg (mid-1900s thru early 1910s) to Austin Bridge (1910s onward) with design similarities (and employees) shared through that evolution.
• Destroyed by tornado, 1907. Coordinates are for the replacement suspension bridge, assumed to be on the same alignment or very close.
• Replaced by 1909 Pease River - Vernon, Texas, USA.

Notes:

• Replaced by a nearby suspension bridge, but the end pylons are still present at the ends of the replacement span as of 2019.
• Replaced 1829 Port-Sainte-Foy - Port-Sainte-Foy-et-Ponchapt, Dordogne and Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, Gironde, France.

Notes:

• GAP: Modified 1973, suspension elements removed.
• Coordinates are for the current (2020) crossing known as the Mafeking footbridge, but unclear if this structure is related to the suspension bridge. Revell street intersects the Kaiapoi River 900 feet east of this location and may be another possible location of the former suspension bridge.
• Similar to 1893 Mandeville (Swing) - Kaiapoi, New Zealand.
• Similar to Butcher's Ford (Durrell's Ford, Hassall's Ford, Butchers) - Kaiapoi, New Zealand.

Notes:

• At least one of the towers is still standing, as of 2006.

Notes:

• Douglas Harper notes: "The pylons have been swathed in concrete, presumably for protection against the elements."

Notes:

• Misspelled on every long span bridge list I've ever seen, this long narrow footbridge is located at Mapimí, Mexico.
• AAJ notes this bridge as having a 10-foot wide roadway and having been built by William Hildenbrand. The present-day bridge's deck measures only 1.8 meters and is restricted to foot traffic. In HBE, Tyrell takes credit for the design of the bridge and also notes the 10-foot roadway (though, HBE was probably a source for AAJ).

Notes:

• Eckhard Bernstorff notes (data from the information table at the machinery building, where the motor to pull the platform is installed): Main Span 129 m (the high truss towers have a wide basis, the length from saddle to saddle is 139.75 m, and the length of the whole "tableau" including side parts is 175.5m), width between rails 8m. The Rochefort Transporter is well in use [2005], in the summer on all days people can use the "ferry" which is attached to the rails under the bridge.

Notes:

• According to Tyrell, "[It] joins Dock Street on the lower side of the river with Glendon Avenue on the upper side, 90 feet above it. To overcome this difference in elevation of the two ends without incurring excessive expense for approach, the bridge floor was made to descend on a grade of 7.2 per cent from the upper bank to meet stairs rising from Dock Street..."

Notes:

• Closed, 2011. Sign posted at the bridge in 2011 stated "No pedestrians beyond this point. Footbridge Closed. Imminent Danger of Collapse."
• Most news stories on the bridge's condition state it was closed continuously, due to deteriorating conditions, from 2011 through 2015, but this was not entirely accurate. The bridge was open in August 2014, but restricted to two people at a time (see accompanying photo sets). Closed again, sometime soon after. Contract awarded for refurbishment, April 2015.

Notes:

• This entry refers to the steel suspension footbridge nestled between Telford's suspension bridge and Stephenson's rail bridge. Click the photo to get a better view of this bridge. According to Susan Ellis, Senior Archivist of the Conwy County Borough Council, the bridge was built on the recommendation of John J. Webster who was hired to inspect Telford's suspension bridge in 1902 "following fears about the safety of its condition. He reported back making various recommendation for strengthening the bridge, including that a separate footbridge be constructed."
• This footbridge was in existence until at least 1957.
• Next to 1826 Conwy (Conway) - Conwy, Wales, United Kingdom.

Annotated Citations:

• "Conway Suspension Bridge." The Engineer, 20 May 1904.
  

  This detailed account of the 1904 reinforcement of Telford's adjacent bridge does not mention the existence of, or building of, an additional footbridge. It does describe adding a cantilevered walkway to one side of Telford's bridge. This walkway was, indeed, built, and can be seen in the linked image on the left side of the older bridge. Thus, it is not entirely clear whether this bridge was actually constructed in 1904 and the work of Alfred Thorne (who was very much associated with the Telford bridge reinforcement project)

Notes:

• Crossed the Fraser southwest of Williams Lake next to the present route 20 crossing. Some of the stone piers are still visible next to the present arch bridge. For some time, the two bridges were standing side-by-side (perhaps 100 yards apart). The "stone piers" very much look like pylons from an older suspension bridge but there doesn't appear to be evidence of a prior suspension bridge.
• Some sources say completed in 1905.
• Replacement opened in 1962. Suspension bridge possibly removed in 1961 or 1962.
