Notes:

  • Patrick S. O'Donnell notes: "This bridge was built in 1918 as a provisional suspension bridge to facilitate the construction of the dam a little less than a half kilometer downstream. Then it was built over and transformed into the 1927 Rånåsfoss bridge. It appears everything of the original bridge was replaced or new, except the lattice towers which in effect became rebar and are now encased in concrete. New anchorage pits were dug and new anchor eyebars placed within to accept the new main cables."
  • Replaced by 1927 Rånåsfoss - Rånåsfoss, Viken, Norway.
