Notes:

• Coordinates and photos of this private bridge have been withheld at the request of the owner.

Notes:

• Douglas E. McClure writes (in 2009): "This bridge span is 175 feet and was constructed a few years ago. The earlier bridge was also a swinging bridge at the same location and type, but was washed out during heavy rains. The new bridge was raised 5 feet."

• Historic Bridges of the United States - Estherville Suspension Bridge - Emmet County, Iowa

Notes:

• Crosses some a spillway just east of I-80 just before I-80 crosses from California to Nevada. North of Mystic in Sierra County.
• Jan Claire sends observations about the structure the bridge crosses: "The dam is a diverter. Water from the Truckee river is diverted into a canal which runs over to Verdi, Nevada at which point it is pumped up and over a hill and down into another river. Because this dam does not appear on the California Department of Water Resources inventory, I assume it is a long-ago-grandfathered dam operated under treaty with the state of Nevada for irrigation purposes. Satellite photos show this diverter-canal runs through what may still be, or probably was, farmland west of Verdi."
• Replaced by 2013 Fleish - Fleish, Mystic vicinity, California, USA.

Notes:

• Long footbridge crossing above a river and the "ZhangHu Shell Fossil Zone".

Notes:

• Patrick S. O'Donnell provided a rough main span estimate of 200 feet.

Notes:

• Located at the Scott County route 714 low-water vehicular crossing of Copper Creek.

Notes:

• Located about 1/4-mile walk from the intersection of Scott County routes 670 and 673.

Notes:

• H-shaped concrete towers.

Notes:

• The January 3, 1975 edition of the Middlesboro Daily News (Middlesboro, Kentucky) ran a front page photo with description: "As this young woman gazes out over the water of the Cumberland River she may be contemplating the first day of sunshine In the new year. The scenic suspension bridge from which she is gazing at the icy water below is located about two miles past Bell High School on the Harlan Road." That appears to place the bridge in Pineville or very nearby based on the present day (2020) locations of Bell County High School and Harlan Road (US119).
• Likely removed.

Notes:

• Closed at some point between 2004 and 2020.
