Notes:

• Restored, 1977 and 1995.

Notes:

• The June 29, 1974 edition of The Times-Standard of Eureka, California ran an article "Petrolia plans dedication" describing a new bridge dedicated to Elwyn "Ole" Lindley located 4.6 miles east of Petrolia: "the new re-enforced concrete girder with four bays replaced an old cable suspension bridge built in 1920." There is no other mention of the suspension bridge in the article. The location indicated by the coordinates given here is the location of the present day (2020) Lindley bridge crossing the Mattole River. It is unclear if this was the same Petrolia-area suspension bridge dismantled in 1962.
• See (suspension bridge) - Petrolia, California, USA. This entry may represent the same bridge.

  "Bids for the planned overhaul of the Rondout Creek Bridge will be sought in June, and the state Department of Transportation expects to award contracts for the work in August, the office of state Assemblyman Kevin Cahill said this week... The rehabilitation of the suspension bridge, which carries Wurts Street over the creek between Kingston and Port Ewen, could cost as much as $37 million, Cahill said previously. The state will pay for the project, which is expected to begin this fall."

Notes:

• J.W. Pigg (of Mitchell & Pigg, prominent Texas suspension bridge builders of the early 20th century) was reportedly involved in the construction of the bridge. Steinman gives a date of 1922, but newspaper articles from mid-1923 describe the plans as still under consideration. The bridge was likely completed in 1923 or 1924.
• A photograph of the bridge appears in the December 16, 1934 issue of The Daily Oklahoman (Oklahoma City) with caption: "This Old Bridge Is Doomed," sub-caption "Suspension Bridge on Highway 48 North of Ada," and a blurb: "This old bridge, known as the McKeown bridge, across the Canadian River between Ada and Konawa, is being condemned and will be rebuilt. It is a suspension bridge, one of the few in the state, but when the bridge is rebuilt it will be minus its 'suspenders.'"
• The November 12, 1936 edition of The Ada Evening News reports: "The old suspension, bridge across the river north ot Ada is being torn down, but no one knew just where it will be located when and if it is rebuilt. Konawa wants to build it west of the city of Konawa. Mr. Clark [division engineer for the state highway department] did not know if any provisions have yet been made for its erection."

• Legend has it the bridge was burned during a dispute. This likely occurred before 1955. Some sources suggest it occurred before or during 1950. The road that leads to the Texas side of the former crossing is "Burned Out Bridge Road." Follow the image of the derelict tower to see the remains of the bridge.
• AUB mentions: "In January 1924, a contract was entered into with Nocona Bridge Company for a bridge across Red River, nine miles north of Nocona, connecting Texas and Oklahoma. The plans called for a 700' span, 16' roadway, and the main cables to contain 1,000 No. 9 galvanized wires each. The building of this, [the Austin Bridge Company's] first complete cable bridge, and the experience gained therefrom helped to launch Austin Bridge Company into an interesting and profitable line of work."
