This is a list of all 2 bridges from the suspension bridge inventory crossing Rio Jocomico. Please note that different rivers with the same name will be grouped together. For example, selecting 'Bear Creek' shows bridges across several different Bear Creeks. Also, similarly named rivers are grouped separately. For example, 'River Dee' (UK) bridges are grouped separately from 'Dee River' (Australia) bridges. Wherever you see a Bridgemeister ID number click it to isolate the bridge on its own page.
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."
