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."
