Notes:

  • Translated from Norwegian: "The bridge came in 1913. It soon became clear that the bridge was built of poor materials. It was too late, so the logs could tear it down in flood times. It was therefore reinforced with new cables... In 1935, a major improvement was made to the bridge. It got plank deck so it could be run by horse and carriage over it. At the same time, a new road was worked up through the Tollenesholta from Flakkebrua to Osen. The bridge was also used by smaller private cars until the 1960s. Then it was closed to all motorized traffic. It was still used as a walking and cycling route."
  • Replaced by 2001 Flakkebrua - Flakk, Birkenes, Agder, Norway.

Notes:

  • Patrick S. O'Donnell notes: "This bridge was built in 1918 as a provisional suspension bridge to facilitate the construction of the dam a little less than a half kilometer downstream. Then it was built over and transformed into the 1927 Rånåsfoss bridge. It appears everything of the original bridge was replaced or new, except the lattice towers which in effect became rebar and are now encased in concrete. New anchorage pits were dug and new anchor eyebars placed within to accept the new main cables."
  • Replaced by 1927 Rånåsfoss - Rånåsfoss, Viken, Norway.

Notes:

  • Opened September 9, 1939 and soon after destroyed in December 1939, bombed by Finland during the Winter War between Russia and Finland.
  • Unclear if this bridge, when constructed, was actually in Norway, Finland, or straddling the border between the two as it existed in 1939. It was constructed directly over falls in an area known as Skoltefoss where a dam has since been constructed. The current border at this location has changed as a result of the WWII-era hostilities between Finland and Russia and is now between Norway and Russia.

Notes:

  • Patrick S. O'Donnell notes: Appears to have been a temporary motor vehicle suspension bridge, constructed following WWII and the destruction of a three span through truss that was opened in 1896. The suspension bridge appears to be timber towered and about half the length of the current Alta bridge. It appears they filled in half the waterway as it was not very deep or fast flowing.
  • Replaced by 1948 Alta - Alta, Troms og Finnmark, Norway.
