Notes:
- Jakkula (AAJ) lists this bridge as completed in 1889 based on articles from 1899-1900 discussing braced chain suspension bridges. Various internet sources consistently cite 1863 as the year of completion. The 1889 date is more consistent with several similar braced-chain suspension bridges built in the 1890, but it is unclear which sources are accurate.
