Notes:

• Tony King believes he found the former location of this bridge a few hundred yards south of the I-20 Brazos River crossing west of Weatherford. This location is near a road named "Brannon Bridge Circle." Tony writes: "Just downstream from the modern Interstate 20 bridge in western Parker County, I've noticed a concrete and iron structure, and happened to take a photo of it recently. I've noticed the structure a couple of times in the past (most recently in May of 2007) while hiking a well-worn foot/ATV path that parallels the west bank of the river as it flows almost due south from the Interstate to Meeks Bend." The structure in Tony's photo appears to be a pier or support footing. The coordinates given here are Tony's approximation of the location of the structure.
• Built as part of the same contract as the Tin Top bridge.
• Similar to 1906 Tin Top (Hightower Valley) - Tin Top, Texas, USA.

Notes:

• Rebuilt 1940. Unclear if the bridge was completely replaced at this point.
• Based on historic aerial images, removed between 1969 and 2004.

  "The swing bridge, at 494 feet (150m) in length was believed to have been the longest single-span structure of its type in the North Island. There was ten 700 feet (213m) supporting cables of plough steel (high quality steel containing carbon, used to make wire ropes) imported from England."

Notes:

• Bids accepted for refurbishment, expected to be completed October, 2007.
• Destroyed by floodwaters June 8, 2008.

Notes:

• Some internet resources suggest the "Tin Top" and "Hightower" suspension bridges were separate nearby structures, however, this does not appear to have been the case. Both names were used to describe the same structure and USGS topographical maps from the 1950s label the bridge due south of Tin Top as "Hightower". Mitchell and Pigg did build a similar structure, at Brannon's Crossing. The 2015 National Register of Historic Places Registration Form for "Historic Road Infrastructure of Texas, 1866-1965", the Texas Department of Transportation writes: "In 1905 [Mitchell and Pigg] constructed the practically identical Brannon's Crossing and Hightower Valley Bridges across the Brazos in Parker County. The former was a 440-foot clear span while the later, also known as Tin Top, was 400 feet."
• The coordinates appear to be the exact location of a pier remaining (as of 2020) from this bridge. The alignment indicated by the pier appears to exactly match the location of this bridge as indicated by 1958 USGS topographical map of the area.
• Similar to 1906 Brannon's Crossing - Weatherford vicinity, Parker County, Texas, USA.

Notes:

• 2022: Still standing, but suspenders and deck have been removed.

• Closed, July 2008, after reports of falling debris. In December 2008, Severn Trent Water announced plans to refurbish the bridge in 2009. Bridge was reopened February 12, 2010.

Notes:

• Coordinates are for the current location of the bridge. It was moved there (from its original location where Romney Road meets the River Kent in Kendal) in the 1990s. A sign at the current (2011) bridge says: "The bridge was erected in 1993 on the initiative of Kendal Civic Society. It incorporates part of the structure of the former Romeny Footbridge erected in 1907..."

Notes:

Notes:

• On Page 13 of the December 27, 1967 edition of West Virginia's The Charleston Gazette newspaper, there is a photograph of this footbridge with a Jeep driving across. The caption reads: "Pedestrian bridge at Vulcan... is used by vehicles because it provides a route over the Tug River to Kentucky. A citizen's group has complained that the bridge is not strong enough to support cars." The photograph accompanies an article "Road Reform Call Urged" that says the bridge is "regularly used by Jeeps and small cars." Note the date of the article, December 27, 1967 is 12 days after the Silver Bridge disaster at Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
• Near (footbridge) - Vulcan, West Virginia and Pike County, Kentucky, USA. Although similar in appearance, these appear to have been different bridges.

Notes:

• Location inundated by the Harry S. Truman Reservoir.

Notes:

• 1955: Failed due to a truck colliding with part of the bridge. Adjacent replacement was already under construction.
• 2021: Towers are still present and one set of suspension cables is carrying a small pipeline. Unclear how long the bridge has been in this state.

The last line is largely obscurred but it appears to say "MITCHELL & PIGG PAT'D 1..." with a year at the end. Mitchell & Pigg was a well-known builder of suspension bridges in Texas.
