Translated: "In June 1940, the retreating French army cut the cables, which caused the deck and pylons to fall. A ferry was then put back into service. Rebuilt and reopened to traffic in 1943, the bridge was destroyed again in August 1944, following bombings, except for the gantries. Its reconstruction, almost identically, was undertaken from 1947 and completed in 1950, the year of its inauguration. In September 2007, following the rupture of a load-bearing cable, the bridge was closed to the public. Traffic was temporarily restored before definitive repairs were carried out in 2009."

• The September 30, 1932 edition of The Mountain Democrat (of Placerville, California) describes how a high line cable hanging 240 feet above the bridge site to transport people and material to the bridge site since the road (a now abandoned section of the Rubicon Road) had not been built yet: "They have a cable (Mr. Lawrence calls it a high-line") stretched across the Rubicon canyon a distance of more than 1100 feet. The cable has a "sag" of 165 feet, and some 240 feet straight down from the middle of the cable is the site of the 160-foot suspension bridge. And so, when a bridge worker goes to work, he climbs into a wooden cage, which travels out on the high-line until it is directly over the bridge site, and then the cage descends to the bottom of the canyon." About the bridge: "And that was no easy job, for the bridge is of the suspension type, has a 160-foot span, has one traffic lane and is designed to support a fifteen ton load."
