Notes:

• Patrick S. O'Donnell writes: "This simple bridge started out as a multiple span, concrete girder on piers. A couple of the spans in the middle were washed away in a flood, most likely as a result of the common pier collapsing / failing. They fixed that by building a pair of towers and bridged the gap with a suspended span. That eventually collapsed under the weight of an overloaded truck. The gap was re-spanned in a like manner, with a towered suspended span."
