Suspension Bridges Crossing River Tain
This is a list of the only bridge from the suspension bridge inventory crossing River Tain. Please note that different rivers with the same name will be grouped together. For example, selecting 'Bear Creek' shows bridges across several different Bear Creeks. Also, similarly named rivers are grouped separately. For example, 'River Dee' (UK) bridges are grouped separately from 'Dee River' (Australia) bridges. Wherever you see a Bridgemeister ID number click it to isolate the bridge on its own page.

Notes:
- Closed, 2011. Sign posted at the bridge in 2011 stated "No pedestrians beyond this point. Footbridge Closed. Imminent Danger of Collapse."
- Most news stories on the bridge's condition state it was closed continuously, due to deteriorating conditions, from 2011 through 2015, but this was not entirely accurate. The bridge was open in August 2014, but restricted to two people at a time (see accompanying photo sets). Closed again, sometime soon after. Contract awarded for refurbishment, April 2015.
