Notes:

• Damaged by flood resulting from Hell Hole Dam failure in 1965. Never repaired.
• The September 30, 1932 edition of The Mountain Democrat (of Placerville, California) describes how a high line cable hanging 240 feet above the bridge site to transport people and material to the bridge site since the road (a now abandoned section of the Rubicon Road) had not been built yet: "They have a cable (Mr. Lawrence calls it a high-line") stretched across the Rubicon canyon a distance of more than 1100 feet. The cable has a "sag" of 165 feet, and some 240 feet straight down from the middle of the cable is the site of the 160-foot suspension bridge. And so, when a bridge worker goes to work, he climbs into a wooden cage, which travels out on the high-line until it is directly over the bridge site, and then the cage descends to the bottom of the canyon." About the bridge: "And that was no easy job, for the bridge is of the suspension type, has a 160-foot span, has one traffic lane and is designed to support a fifteen ton load."

Notes:

• Odd timber suspension bridge that has large diagonal stiffening members giving it the appearance of a "braced chain" bridge. AAJ describes it: "the construction in each span is of the three-hinged, trussed cable type or inverted three-hinged arch type. The form of the trussed cable is the Fidler truss."
• Brett Evill transcribed a plaque at the bridge: "This bridge with unusual trussed cables was designed by DMR engineers V Karmalsky and A T Britton. Steelwork was supplied by Morison and Bearby of Newcastle and timber by R McMillan of Long Flat. Sadly, the contractor R B Haydon was killed during construction and work was completed by the Department. Opened on 19 December 1936, the bridge and its approaches cost £5,000.
