Notes:

  • Patrick S. O'Donnell notes: "This suspension bridge was built in the months following the destruction by cold lava due to the eruption of Mount Semeru on December 4, 2021 of both a 1998 concrete arch bridge in use at the time, and the 1925-1930 era deck truss bridge that had been bypassed by the concrete arch bridge, but left open to pedestrians. That deck truss bridge had been destroyed in 1947 as a result of war, then rebuilt in 1952."
  • At former location of Gladak Perak - Sumberwuluh, Lumajang, East Java, Indonesia.
