Notes:

• Was still part of Virginia at time of completion.
• 1854: Rebuilt after it was wrecked by a windstorm. Contrary to popular myth, the rebuilding was undertaken by Ellet and his assistant William K. McComas, not by John A. Roebling.
• 1860: Overhauled. Popular myth often attributes this work to the Roeblings. WHSB attributes this work to William K. McComas. After this overhaul, the bridge still does not have the distinctive diagonal cable stays that give it the appearance of a Roebling bridge.
• 1872: Overhauled according to a design by Washington Roebling. John A. Roebling had died in 1869 and was not involved with this work. WHSB notes, "The design essentially Roeblingized the bridge with the diagonal cable stays that are such a prominent feature of the bridge."
• 2019, September: Closed to vehicular traffic indefinitely due to safety concerns after repeated overweight vehicle violations.
• 2020, November: Bids being evaluated for renovation project. Bridge remains closed to vehicular traffic.
• 2021, April: Single bid received was rejected. Bids expected to be resolicited in June. The bridge remains closed to all vehicular traffic.
• 2022, February: $17.9 million renovation project expected to start soon.
• Became longest suspension bridge by eclipsing 1834 Zaehringen (Grand Pont Suspendu) - Fribourg, Switzerland.
• Eclipsed by new longest suspension bridge 1867 John A. Roebling (Cincinnati, Cincinnati and Covington) - Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky, USA.

Notes:

• Jakkula (AAJ) lists this bridge as completed in 1889 based on articles from 1899-1900 discussing braced chain suspension bridges. Various internet sources consistently cite 1863 as the year of completion. The 1889 date is more consistent with several similar braced-chain suspension bridges built in the 1890, but it is unclear which sources are accurate.
• "Braced chain" main cables.
• Similar to 1936 Kindee - Kindee, Ellenborough vicinity, New South Wales, Australia.
• Similar to 1951 Marias River (Pugsley) - Chester vicinity, Montana, USA.
• Similar to (footbridge) - Sarov (Саров), Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia.
• Similar to Allan - Segenhoe, Scone vicinity, New South Wales, Australia.
• Similar to Ininskiy (Ининский) - Inya (Иня), Altai Republic, Russia.
• Similar to Reku Vel' - Solginskiy (Солгинский), Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.

Notes:

• Braced chain (stiffened-eyebar) design often espoused by Gustav Lindenthal. ONF (an article by Lindenthal) refers to this as the Jefferson Ave. bridge while Fowler's book (IEA) calls it "Grand Avenue". AAJ describes it as "a three-hinged inverted arch with two stiffened chains, one on each side."
