Notes:

• 2018: Major rehabilitation project completed. Patrick S. O'Donnell observes: "Total deck replacement. The tower legs appear they were all reinforced/cladded in more concrete as were the headers/struts. The above ground anchorage blocks at one end appear new, or just with another layer of concrete."

Notes:

• Suspension pier based on James Dredge's patent.
• A large illustration of a suspension pier built based on Dredge's patent appears in Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue of Machinery, Implements, Tools, Manufactured Articles, Raw Materials, etc.… published by Charles D. Young & Co. in the 1850s.

  Mentions "In March of the same year [1856], a disastrous gale at Valparaiso drove several ships on shore, destroying a large iron suspension pier, erected by one of my Directors". This is very likely referring to the Dredge patent pier.

Notes:

• Moved from 1913 Grängesberg - Grängesberg, Sweden. It was dismantled in 1925, but unclear what year it was reassembled at Vansbro.

Notes:

• Based on historic aerial images, completed prior to 1966. Believed to have been removed in late 1970s.
• Near future location of 2005 Værdalske Befestninger - Stormoen, Verdal, Trøndelag, Norway.

Notes:

• See (pipeline bridge) - Vemork, Våer vicinity, Telemark, Norway. The pipeline was effectively a separate suspension bridge built on top of the main suspension bridge at Vemork resulting in a unique "stack" of two suspension bridges. The pipeline structure was removed at some point in the 1900s.

Notes:

• William Craig describes the bridge, "Built about 1900 by James Abernethy & Co. The pylons are tapered lattice girders with ball and spike finials and cross braced. Walkway is lattice girder hung from suspension cables."

Notes:

• Likely built in 1931 or 1932.
• Replaced by Walcott - Walcott, British Columbia, Canada.
• See 1912 Hagwilget (Bulkley Canyon) - Hagwilget, British Columbia, Canada.

External Links:

• Walcott Suspension Bridge on Bulkley River - Northern BC Archives. Image taken in 1932 stating the bridge was "moved from its original location in the Hagwilget Canyon" implying this is the relocated 1912 Bulkely/Hagwilget Canyon suspension bridge that was replaced in 1931. The two bridges, however, don't appear to resemble each other and the Walcott bridge's main span appears to have been about 50 feet shorter than the 1912 Bulkely Canyon bridge . Perhaps only the cables were reused.

Notes:

• Replaced Walcott - Walcott, British Columbia, Canada. Several components appear to have been retained from the prior bridge, but the towers and deck were replaced at some point giving the appearance of a different suspension bridge.

Notes:

• Appears to have been located near the alignment of Trafalgar Street in Taylorville.
• Near 1876 Brunner - Brunner, New Zealand.

Notes:

• Eric Sakowski asked the Humboldt County Historical Society for information about this bridge and received this answer from Catherine Mace: "You have a good picture of the bridge over the Klamath River at Weitchpec. The large tree you see through the bridge is the gambling tree and the village of Weitchpec is the structures behind it. The road goes across and makes almost a hairpin turn to the right then it branches . To the right you go up river and to the left goes down river through Weitchpec."
• See 1861 Weitchpec - Weitchpec, California, USA. The bridge pictured here was likely a replacement for the older bridge.

Notes:

• Closed August, 2006 due to concerns about the bridge's condition. Dismantled 2007. May be re-assembled at an Aberdeenshire River Dee crossing.

Notes:

• Believed to be built circa 1872.

Notes:

• Often claimed to be the "smallest" suspension bridge in the world. It is not and never was. There are dozens of suspension bridges with main spans shorter than the 75 feet (22.86 meters) usually claimed as the Wiggly bridge's length.

Notes:

• A Civil War skirmish known as the "Wire Bridge Engagement" occurred on October 24, 1861 at the location of the present day (2020) Grace crossing (John Blue Bridge). The bridge played a prominent role as the event unfolded on and around the bridge, described very specifically as a wire bridge. A historical marker at the site shows an illustration from the New York Illustrated News (1862) clearly showing a period-correct vehicular suspension bridge.
• This location was in Virginia at the time the bridge was completed (prior to 1861, presumably).
• Coordinates are of the present day (2020) crossing at this location, believed to be very close to the location of the suspension bridge, if not the same location.
