Suspension Bridges Crossing Eyrieux River
This is a list of all 3 bridges from the suspension bridge inventory crossing Eyrieux River. Please note that different rivers with the same name will be grouped together.

Notes:
- BPF and other sources list this bridge as having been completed in 1821 or 1823, but it is very unlikely the bridge was completed that early. An abandoned pier for another bridge is visible in some images of the bridge. It is possible there was another, earlier, bridge at this location for which the early 1820s completion date may be applicable. Other sources suggest the suspension bridge represented here was completed in 1893.
