AAJ suggests bridge was completed in 1836 based on contract for construction let in early 1835.
1927: Replaced with a concrete bridge resembling a suspension bridge.
AAJ supposes this bridge was completed in 1841 based a contract let in early 1839 for a two-year construction duration. Other sources suggest 1838 or 1839, but appear to be based on the contract date and not the completion of construction. Destroyed by flood, 1846. Replaced by 1850 Retournac - Retournac, Haute-Loire, France .

BPF and other sources list this bridge as having been completed in 1821 or 1823, but it is very unlikely the bridge was completed that early. An abandoned pier for another bridge is visible in some images of the bridge. It is possible there was another, earlier, bridge at this location for which the early 1820s completion date may be applicable. Other sources suggest the suspension bridge represented here was completed in 1893.

Bridgemeister ID: 8108 (added 2024-01-06)Name: Savanne Location: Salazie, Réunion , France Suspended Spans: 1
Completed in the 1890s. It likely replaced another suspension bridge completed in 1840.
Coordinates are for one of the remaining piers of the rail tracks that sat on top of the suspension bridge. This highly unusual hybrid structure had a rail bridge supported by the suspension bridge towers and a suspension bridge mid-span tower. From a distance, it had the appearance of a deck suspended from a rail bridge, but this was not the case. See 1854 Sarp (Sarpsbro, Sarpsbrua) - Sarpsborg, Viken, Norway . Another interesting hybrid rail and suspension bridge.
