- Damaged by flooding, November 2006. From a News Tribune (Tacoma, Washington) article on June 11, 2007: "Trail crews last week discovered that supporting cables at one end of the suspension bridge may have been weakened by flooding last November."
- Replaced a drooping catwalk-style suspension bridge that was anchored on different foundations still present at the bridge site. Both bridges appear to have coexisted for some time around 1995.
