  "The process to preserve the deteriorating cables on the Mount Hope Bridge is underway, though how it will be paid for remains a question mark… the [Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority] has put out a request for proposals for a dehumidification system for the two large supporting cables on the 93-year-old suspension bridge."

Notes:

• Looking at a picture of this bridge spanning about 150 feet of water, and looking at present-day maps and images of Ogden Park, it can be confusing trying to reconcile the location of this bridge as present-day Ogden Park has no waterways. The Chicago Park District web site explains, "Additionally, each [of several city parks] had a beautiful landscape with a meandering waterway near a meadow of ballfields. Ogden Park's waterway was drained and filled in 1940."

Notes:

• This bridge was built solely as a tourist attraction.

Notes:

• Although the length of the main span of the bridge is officially 1,500 feet, the actual length is 1,495 feet. During construction one of the caissons slid and tilted from its intended location. While efforts were made to move the caisson back, it was ultimately fixed in a position that left the main span five feet short of 1,500. Not wanting to lose the claim of having a 1,500-foot bridge, the shortfall has been kept out of official records since.

  "The suspension bridge used to be renowned for its wobbly midpoint and was a key shortcut across the River Conwy for locals and tourists. However, structural reviews conducted last year found that virtually the entire bridge would need to be refurbished, with the entire timber deck as well as other parts replaced completely."

• An article in the October 29, 1971 edition of The Times-Standard (Eureka, California) describes this bridge as being located over the Trinity River at New River. USGS topographical maps show a footbridge a few hundred yards north of the intersection of the two rivers at Gray Falls. The article has a photograph of the bridge and describes its possible replacement. The bridge was already closed at the time of the article: "A 50 year-old picturesque footbridge across the Trinity River at New River will be replaced if special funds can be obtained by the Six Rivers Nalional Forest, the federal agency has decided. 'Strong supportive response from people throughout the area to the continued need for a bridge' was reported by Forest Supervisor Bob Allison. The responses came after the Forest Service solicited comments in August on the replacement need for the span. The new bridge would be nearly as possible a replica of the present bridge constructed sometime between 1915 - 1917 by Jim and John Larson. It served as the main link between Denny and the outside world."

Notes:

• Temporary bridge built across the gap in the Zeebrugge Mole created during the Zeebrugge Raid (April 23, 1918). Presumably erected in 1918. Coordinates provided here are approximate.

Notes:

• 2017: A cable snaps. The bridge is closed for temporary repairs and reopened.
