Suspension Bridges Crossing Green River

This is a list of all 5 bridges from the suspension bridge inventory crossing Green River. Please note that different rivers with the same name will be grouped together.

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.
