Notes:
- Patrick S. O'Donnell notes: Appears to have been a temporary motor vehicle suspension bridge, constructed following WWII and the destruction of a three span through truss that was opened in 1896. The suspension bridge appears to be timber towered and about half the length of the current Alta bridge. It appears they filled in half the waterway as it was not very deep or fast flowing.
- Replaced by 1948 Alta - Alta, Troms og Finnmark, Norway.
