ABSTRACT

When focusing on the remaining experimental iron suspension bridges, built before 1824, on the vast continent, the following bridges can be listed:

– 1822, private bridge by Marc Seguin, Vernosc-les Annonay, France

– 1824, castle bridge by Jean-Baptiste Vifquain, Bazel-Kruibeke, Belgium

– 1824, Post office bridge by Wilhelm Von Traitteur, Saint Petersburg, Russia

– 1824, Kettensteg by Konrad Georg Küppler, Nuremberg, Germany

Remark: since information about small pedestrian and park bridges is rather scarce and the castle bridges are often inaccessible, it is likely that more bridges will be revealed in the near future.
