Notes:

• Sometimes misidentified as the "Jefferson Avenue" bridge.
• 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."

Notes:

• Nancy Fraser writes: "The pedestrian suspension bridge [was] located at Island Garden Amusement Park in Lewiston, Maine. It started at the water gate house that you can see and led to an island over the water falls where they had entertainment. It was in existence in Lewiston from 1891 to 1903. It was later sold to Amos Gerald of Fairfield, Maine to be used for the trolley line leading to Casco Castle and Amusement Park in South Freeport, Maine."
• Moved to (footbridge) - South Freeport, Maine, USA.

Notes:

• Multi-span pipeline suspension bridge carrying a large water main. Since replaced with a bridge carrying both pedestrians and a large pipeline.

Notes:

• Small footbridge. Replaced by tunnel by 1900.

Notes:

• Replaced by 1945 Ölfusá - Selfoss, Iceland.

Notes:

• This bridge likely functioned more as a cantilever bridge than a suspension bridge.
• 1938-1940: The bridge undergoes a major reconstruction to widen the bridge. The towers appear to have been replaced at this time, but the suspension/cantilever system is retained. The resulting structure is listed separately.

  $12 million rehabilitation project planned. "According to Maggie Baker, a spokesperson with PennDOT… 'After traffic is switched to the temporary bridge, the existing bridge will be carefully dismantled. The existing structural components of the bridge will be shipped to a fabricator to be cleaned and painted. Remedies for damaged components will be coordinated with the onsite cultural resource representative. Abutments will be carefully dismantled and reconstructed.'"

  "Opened March 7, 1892, in what would today be the shadow of the Eisenhower Bridge, was a suspension bridge built to carry pedestrian traffic from Anderson to Park Place. Twin support towers at each end of the bridge held the suspension span in between… The fun lasted until a flood brought it down March 27, 1921."

  "In his report to council recently, Development and Property Director Mike Asselin said the bridge was an important piece of infrastructure and just like other municipal property like bridges and roads, council was faced with the prospect of investing in one of its assets or eventually be forced to close the bridge due to safety concerns. Although there had been some repairs completed in 2020, it was more of a stop-gap measure to deal with some immediate issues."

Notes:

• Sometimes cited as completed 1897, 1899, or "around 1899".
• Sometimes attributed to Mitchell and Pigg, but that would have been several years before the earliest bridges typically attributed to Mitchell and Pigg. Mitchell and Pigg are more clearly associated with the 1909 replacement of this Pease River bridge. Texas suspension bridge dominant builder history generally evolved from Flinn/Moyer (1890s, early 1900s) to Mitchell/Pigg (mid-1900s thru early 1910s) to Austin Bridge (1910s onward) with design similarities (and employees) shared through that evolution.
