Notes:

  • Built prior to 1938.
  • Patrick S. O'Donnell observes: "Timber A-frame tower with a mono main cable. This explains the angled inward railing posts on the bridge. Their angles increasing inward with the inclination of the suspenders progressing toward midspan. The maximum main cable sag at the midspan would had to have been well above the deck so as to allow sufficient space to walk through between the railing posts there."
