Notes:

• 2019: Heavily damaged by typhoon. Appears to have already been closed to all traffic prior.

Notes:

• 1969: Bypassed.
• 2023, September: After many years of the main cables and suspenders hanging with no deck, one of the main cables collapsed.
• 2024, March: The collapsed main cable is raised back into position. The bridge, however, is still a just derelict monument with no deck.

Notes:

• Patrick S. O'Donnell notes: "This bridge was built in 1918 as a provisional suspension bridge to facilitate the construction of the dam a little less than a half kilometer downstream. Then it was built over and transformed into the 1927 Rånåsfoss bridge. It appears everything of the original bridge was replaced or new, except the lattice towers which in effect became rebar and are now encased in concrete. New anchorage pits were dug and new anchor eyebars placed within to accept the new main cables."
• Replaced by 1927 Rånåsfoss - Rånåsfoss, Viken, Norway.

• DuPont High School Alumni Association - The Swinging Bridge. According to the description in this article provided by Old Hickory Branch Library this large bridge had a 540-foot main span and was used for vehicular traffic. "The suspension bridge... Was diverted from its original destination in South America because of the urgency of the war effort. It was built for pedestrian traffic and used only for that purpose at first... Upon determination that the bridge was capable of handling light traffic, a flagman was stationed at each end of the bridge on a 24-hour-a-day basis and cars began using the one-lane span." Kris Brummett adds: "The 540 foot span had no supports to prevent sideways movement and literally swayed back and forth. The bridge was used until 1929."

Notes:

• IMB states, "The original bridge collapsed into Sugar Creek in 1917... the state's Department of Natural Resources promptly replaced the old with current structure."
• James Rader writes in 2008: "Three years ago flooding came up high enough to allow a couple of uprooted Sycamore trees to hit the bridge ripping out a large section of the wood railing and flooring from the middle of the bridge. Bridge was immediately closed. Structural analysis was completed and repairs were made including all new floor planks. Bridge is in great condition and should serve for many many more years to come."

• The towers are still standing next to the current US97 crossing at Beebe.

Notes:

• Some sources suggest the bridge survived until 2010, but this appears to be unlikely. Coordinates provided are for the current Shankstown Creek crossing of Coon Box Road. The suspension bridge may have been on a slightly different alignment.
• 1927: Repaired by W.H. Groome and Son incorporating an improved anchoring system.

External Links:

• MDAH Historic Resources Inventory Fact Sheet - Coon Box Fork Suspension Bridge. Photographs available here suggest remnants of the bridge are visible in the creek.
• NPGallery Asset Detail - Coon Box Fork Bridge. National Register of Historic Places site survey. Presents a brief history of the bridge, but perhaps confuses the matter of its location. States: "Swinging suspension bridge and county road right-of-way along Coon Box Road where the said bridge crosses North Fork Coles Creek." Current-day (2021) Coon Box Road crosses Shankstown Creek near North Fork Coles Creek, but never crosses North Fork Coles Creek. Historic maps of the area place the mid-1900s Shankstown Creek crossing of Coon Box Fork at roughly the same location as the current crossing (the coordinates provided in this record). Looking at historic satellite images of the location, the suspension bridge was probably on an alignment no more than 100 feet north of the current Coon Box Road Shankstown Creek bridge.

Notes:

• 2022: Remnants are still visible adjacent to its replacement concrete deck arch bridge (1936) known as the "Bridge to Nowhere".

Notes:

• Completed 1915-1917, likely removed, 1970s.
• An article in the October 29, 1971 edition of The Times-Standard (Eureka, California) describes this bridge as being located over the Trinity River at New River. USGS topographical maps show a footbridge a few hundred yards north of the intersection of the two rivers at Gray Falls. The article has a photograph of the bridge and describes its possible replacement. The bridge was already closed at the time of the article: "A 50 year-old picturesque footbridge across the Trinity River at New River will be replaced if special funds can be obtained by the Six Rivers Nalional Forest, the federal agency has decided. 'Strong supportive response from people throughout the area to the continued need for a bridge' was reported by Forest Supervisor Bob Allison. The responses came after the Forest Service solicited comments in August on the replacement need for the span. The new bridge would be nearly as possible a replica of the present bridge constructed sometime between 1915 - 1917 by Jim and John Larson. It served as the main link between Denny and the outside world."

Notes:

• Likely built in the 1910s, a suspension bridge once crossed the Mad River at the end of Jack Shaw Road. At least one tower is still standing as of the early 2020s.

Notes:

• Likely built in the 1910s.

Notes:

• Completed in time frame 1913-1917.
