Notes:

• In 2021, a large faux suspension bridge was completed next to the remains of the suspension bridge. Patrick S. O'Donnell writes: "These remnants are overshadowed (physically, but not historically) by the relatively new (2021) concrete highway bridge designed to look like a suspension bridge. Built in homage to the original suspension bridge at this site, this new bridge's suspension elements are all decorative; from the main and suspender cables to the accompanying hardware, and the steel towers that are to their credit at least fixed to the ground and not the bridge itself. The new bridge's construction did have a setback when all the mainspan concrete girders collapsed into the river on October 16, 2020. The new bridge was inaugurated on March 4, 2021."

Notes:

• Similar to 1939 Regency - Regency, Texas, USA. The Bend bridge is pictured in AUB. At first, I thought it was the nearby Regency bridge, but upon closer inspection, the Bend bridge had suspended approach spans. Regency did not. Otherwise, they are very similar in appearance, both having been built in the same year by the same company.

Notes:

• Reconstructed, 1968, but appears to have retained its original appearance. Improvements made, 2009.
• Tom Haapoja provided information about this bridge. His father worked on its construction: "Built in 1938-39. They had a sawmill on site from which they took 'select' lumber for the bridge and boat docking area. I think the sawmill was located on the present-day parking lot. Each anchor for the suspension cables consisted of 44 tons of concrete. The concrete was transported to the forms via wheelbarrows. The construction of the East anchor was difficult because the wheelbarrows travelled uphill, and each were pushed by one man and pulled by another."
  
  "It was a WPA and CCC effort. The CCC Camp discipline and logistics were provided by the US Army, but the construction supervision was provided by the WPA. About 200 Men from the Norrie CCC camp (Ironwood, Michigan) participated in the construction of the bridge and surrounding park. They worked during the cold of winter and rode to and from Camp Norrie in open trucks. Each trip took 1 1/2 hours. The architect of the bridge was 'Oakey' Johnson. The WPA construction foreman was 'Charlie' Johnson."

Notes:

• Opened September 9, 1939 and soon after destroyed in December 1939, bombed by Finland during the Winter War between Russia and Finland.
• Unclear if this bridge, when constructed, was actually in Norway, Finland, or straddling the border between the two as it existed in 1939. It was constructed directly over falls in an area known as Skoltefoss where a dam has since been constructed. The current border at this location has changed as a result of the WWII-era hostilities between Finland and Russia and is now between Norway and Russia.

Notes:

• Demolished 1989. This bridge was Steinman's attempt at a self-anchored suspension bridge and met a controversial demise in 1989. An article in the September 26, 1988 issue of the Springfield, IL "The State Journal-Register" describes the ongoing controversy. The company to which the $100,000 demolition contract was let offered to turn the money over to save the bridge. The locals agreed, but the company's Chief Engineer Stephen Schneider was quoted, "I think Indiana really wants to tear it down. They've been ... forced to send inspectors out every two weeks. I think they just want the headache gone." Gary Abell, spokesman for the Indiana Dept. Of Highways said its design is "not one of the best. It works in theory, but not in practice. This is like trying to save a mistake." After a lot of back-and-forth, the locals gave up, "We've had it with them. We don't want anything more to do with it. They can tear the damn thing down." Animosity toward this bridge continues 13 years after its demolition. In 2002, in an email to Wayne Grodkiewicz (who provided me with much information about this bridge), an INDOT representative said, "I am not sure why you are interested in that bridge, but from our stand point, it was a very poorly designed bridge that had many many problems from the day that it was completed, until it was brought down."

Notes:

• Likely built by the CCC, this bridge has an interesting zig-zag pattern of suspenders. The suspenders are inclined and are continuous across the bridge like a shoelace with one set of eyelets at deck level and the other set of eyelets along the main cables.

Notes:

• Coordinates are for the current (2019) Willowflat Road crossing of the Mohaka River, likely the same location as the suspension bridge.

• Bombed multiple times during WWII and finaly destroyed March 25, 1945.
• Replaced 1891 Friedrichsbrücke - Mannheim, Germany. Translated from the linked Wikipedia page, "Due to the constant increase in traffic, it became necessary to expand the Friedrichsbrücke. Instead of an expensive new building, an engineering balancing act was decided: between 1938 and 1940, the bridge was cut lengthwise, pushed two meters apart, filled in the middle and further structurally adapted. With a lane width of 13.5 m, a total of four lanes including tram tracks could be created."

  "What was thought to be a pretty straightforward project to refurbish the 210-foot long H. Wallace Caldwell Memorial Bridge – known to local residents as the Swinging Bridge – has turned into something of a nightmare for the Riverside Township Board of Trustees… It turns out that not only was the $75,000 earmarked in the 2021-22 budget far below what it’s going to take to do the job, the township board has had trouble getting companies to even submit bids."
