Jochem notes this card, postmarked in 1922, refers to the "new" suspension bridge. It's unclear if the bridge was merely strengthened (such as the pylon cross-bracing seen in the image) or if the structure had been significantly replaced. Ultimately the suspension bridge was completely replaced in 1939.
The replacement for the suspension bridge, completed in 1939.
The replacement arch bridge was destroyed in 1940 during WWII. The suspension bridge tower is still present.
The arch bridge rebuilt after WWII.
