  • Google Maps. Image of a sign near the bridge. Dated May 2018. The sign reads: "The Suspension Foot Bridge. Built during 2009 Privately for STONE AGE ECO VILLAGE RESORT have an unforgetable story to share. During the Earth Quake of 09. 2011, it had withstood the flow of more than 30,000 people for 3 days who had crossed the Bridge due to land slide in the Highway curtailing the detour of 3 km. to mere 400 mtr." However, Patrick S. O'Donnell writes: "This sign says the bridge was built during 2009, but satellite imagery dated Jan. 20, 2010 shows only ground works having taken place, no towers, and certainly no deck. The next available imagery following that (December 2010) shows what appears as a completed bridge. Also, the landslide area was just north of the bridge and the 400 meter route most have included the other suspension bridge just upstream those nearly 400 meters."
