Notes:

• This footbridge is "convertible" because it can be raised to make way for boats. The backstays are shortened using jacks causing the towers to tilt back and the deck to arch up and out of the way. Eckhard Bernstorff notes, "the deck (weight 150 tons) has 14 segments. When the towers tilt back by shortening the main cables about 2.5 meters, the deck lifts 9 meters."

Notes:

• From an old Kentucky Transportation Cabinet web page: "Interested in seeing the world's longest plastic bridge? Visit Johnson County, where the 410-ft-long Forest and Maxie Preston Memorial Pedestrian Bridge recently opened. The bridge was built from a high performance composite material - glass fiber that is reinforced with plastic resins."
• A University of Kentucky web page refers to the deck material as "glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites."

Then goes on to say 'The planners of the bridge builder have indeed asked for recommendations from Japanese experts. However, the recommendations received allegedly violated the code of practice at that time.'"

Notes:

• In a paper title "Construction of Nagisa Bridge Hybrid System of Cable Stayed PC Bridge and Steel Suspension Bridge" (by Yuzuru Sato, et. al.) the bridge is described as "The structure of this bridge is a hybrid structure of cable-stayed prestressed concrete bridge and steel suspension bridge. It is the first application as this structure type of bridge in the world. Concrete girders near pylons are supported by stay cables. Steel girders are supported by suspension cables in the central part of the span. This is new type system for prestressed concrete bridges with longer span and has many structural features compared with ordinary cable-stayed bridge and suspension bridge." and makes comparison to Arnodin suspension bridges where cable stays are the primary support for part of the deck.
