Notes:

  • Temporary bridge spanning a landslide. From Patrick S. O'Donnell: "The landside occurred June 26, 2020. Thankfully nobody died. 9 families totaling 32 people had their homes and businesses taken away as a result of the landslide. Eventually the remainder of the village was razed, and everybody relocated. The suspension bridge was officially opened September 25, 2020, less than three months following the landslide.
    The landslide is now spanned by a two lane through truss bridge. Imagery from November 2021 shows a completed bridge."
