Notes:

• This was the smaller of two suspension bridges separated by a small island in the Allier River.
• Connects to 1840 Mornay-sur-Allier - Mornay-sur-Allier, Cher and St-Pierre-le-Moûtier, Nièvre, France which was the larger of the two suspension bridges. When it was replaced by another suspension in 1936, the smaller bridge was replaced with a non-suspension bridge.
