Suspension Bridges Crossing San Rafael River

This is a list of the only bridge from the suspension bridge inventory crossing San Rafael River. 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.

Notes:

  • Restored, c.1994.
  • Some web sites state this bridge was destroyed by fire in 2008. This appears to be caused by confusion with Utah's Dewey bridge destroyed by a fire in 2008. The San Rafael bridge was not destroyed and was still in active use as of 2020.
