This is a list of bridges 1,201 through 1,300 (of 1,494 total) in the suspension bridge inventory that are undated named bridges. Wherever you see a Bridgemeister ID number click it to isolate the bridge on its own page.
This entry refers to the southernmost of the two footbridges at this location.
2022, March 30: Reopened, but in need of further repairs. Unclear if it was closed because its companion bridge was also closed for repairs or for other safety reasons.
Temporary suspension bridge erected some time after the destruction of the historic Stari Most arch in November 1993. Was in existence in 1997. Removed late 1990s or early 2000s. A different cable-stayed replacement was erected at some point during (or prior to) the arch reconstruction started in 2001. That temporary cable-stayed structure was different than this true suspension bridge.
Coordinates provided reflect the approximate location of the bridge. A detailed interpretive sign located 40 meters south of the coordinates appears to explain the location of the former suspension bridge in detail but I haven't been able to find a clear image of the text.
Replaced a bridge that was damaged by flood in 1881.

Cotherstone Footbridge. "...the second bridge [at this location] was a suspension bridge whose cable snapped in 1929 with 40 people on the bridge, killing one."
June 2014: Damaged when a tractor, well over the posted weight limit, tried to cross and broke through the bridge deck. Reopened August 23, 2018 after an "extensive reconstruction" that completely replaced the deck and possibly cables. After reconstruction, the weight limit was increased from 3 tons to 20 tons.
November 2009: Closed due to safety concerns after six cable strrands were found to be broken. Repaired June-August 2010 and reopened.
Destroyed by flood before 2003. Supposedly was located across the street from Coffey's General Store which is still in existence as of 2020. Coordinates indicate approximate location based on that description.
Closed since 2016 after an inspection deemed it unsafe. Was mentioned in local press several times in 2019 and 2020 with the community upset that no action was taken to repair the bridge which provided a convenient means of reaching downtown Elkins. Various articles in this time frame refer to the bridge as 76 or 80 years old.
Temporarily closed, week of January 10, 2005, because of damage due to storm. HA20050114: "A portion of the bridge has completely split apart from the end support at the town side of the bridge, said Al Afos of the county Roads Division." Appears to have reopened later in 2005.
There are at least two swinging bridge locations at Townsend, Tennessee. There have been at least two bridges at this location known as Kinzel Springs (also Sunshine) at the western end of Townsend. This entry is for the older of the two Kinzel Springs bridges.
There are at least two swinging bridge locations at Townsend, Tennessee. There have been at least two bridges at this location known as Kinzel Springs (also Sunshine) at the western end of Townsend. This entry is for the present-day (2020) of the Kinzel Springs bridges.
2019: Closed due to decaying timber structural members.
2020, June: Repairs started. Expected to be reopened in 2020.
From David Denenberg: "I stopped by this park in 2006 and asked at the park station if the bridge was still in existence. They said there were some short modern steel footbridges, but no suspension bridges remaining. The person I spoke with knew such a bridge had existed at one point, in the park, but suspected it had been removed years ago. I hope he was right because I decided not to pay the permit fee and verify for myself."
Now known as the Curtis Davis Bridge, the suspended span appears to have been replaced with a truss with, apparently, non-functional suspension cables. The original suspension bridge towers remain.
The exact location of this bridge is unclear, but a photo in the December 6, 1937 edition of The Delta Weekly (Greenville, Mississippi) shows a short-span vehicular suspension bridge captioned, "Swinging Bridge - Panola County".
A visitor sent the following information: "[The bridge is] located on a hiking trail on the bed of an abandoned late 19th century railway track, which is raised several meters above a low, marshy area. The bridge itself spans a gap where the Tidnish River flows through the embankment. When driving along the Sunrise Trail, you get a brief glimpse of the bridge, although you must take a small back road to get to it... The bridge is very sturdy, and does not 'swing' although a 70 kg (150 lb.) person can easily create a visible ripple that passes back and forth along the deck by stomping on it. The anchors for the main cables appear to be nothing more than two I-beams sticking out of the ground on a 45 degree angle to which the cables are bolted. The diagonal I-beams are most likely bolted or welded to a horizontal, buried I-beam. The suspender 'cables' are steel rods that are kept from sliding by resting behind a clamp. The bridge looks small and assymetrical when viewed from a distance because the towers and a large portion of the span aren't visible through the trees on each end. The path also passes over an old keystone bridge which was constructed when the railway was built in the late 19th century, you do not realize this when you are actually on the path because there is 2-3 m (7-10 ft.) of soil on top of the bridge, so you can only see the large stones when you are standing ON them."
Patrick S. O'Donnell sent more information about 19th-century arch bridge at this location. It was part of an ambitious project known as the "Chignecto Marine Transport Railway" intended to transport large ships across the Isthmus of Chignetco.
Closed indefinitely in early 2015 after approach span wood supports were found to have deteriorated.
This is the droopier footbridge at the eastern end of Townsend, distinct from the bridge at the "Kinzel Springs" location on the western side of Townsend. Typically the droopy footbridges are omitted from the Bridgemeister inventory, but this one is included to avoid confusion with the other Townsend-area bridges.
The park's trail guides mention two swinging bridges on the same trail, but it's unclear if the second bridge, perhaps 500 feet south of the coordinates for the bridge given here, is actually a suspension bridge.
Two suspension bridges at this location. This entry represents the modern level-decked bridge. The older ("old") bridge here is a drooping simple suspension bridge.
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.
Coordinates are for present-day (2021) "Tawi Bridge" which is believed to be the approximate location of this multi-span suspension bridge. It had at least six suspended main spans, possibly more.
