Reconciliation: Jakkula - Part 2, Section C

Part 2, Section C contains bridges for which Jakkula was unsure of completion date or location. He wrote: "This section contains references to metallic bridges whose location or date of construction, or both, are unknown to the author. In the rather comprehensive study made in the compilation of this bibliography only the fragments of information given were uncovered. It is expected that sometime all the information on these bridges will be found, and then it will be possible to classify them in their proper chronological position. The information is, at present, classified according to country."

There are some obvious matches here with the Bridgemeister inventory, but I am currently (in late 2020) in the very early stages of reconciling this list.

Launceston Footbridge - Tasmania, Launceston  
Liege Bridge - Belgium, Liege, over the River Meuse  
Birkenhead Bridge - England, Birkenhead Jakkula references a very brief Scientific American mention (Nov. 8, 1862, p. 269) regarding a 100-yard steel suspension bridge "undergoing the scientific test" in Birkenhead. It is unclear what bridge is being referenced here. Earlier in the 1800s an unrealistic 3,000+-foot River Mersey suspension bridge had been proposed near Birkenhead.
Chester Bridge - England, Cheshire Co., Chester Jakkula's citations here appear to be referencing two separate structures. Two of the references (from 1849 and 1850) appear to be describing the suspension bridge in Curzon Park across a ravine known as The Dingle. This bridge is no longer in existence but images clearly show a simple suspension bridge (deck resting on the cables) which matches the descriptions cited by Jakkula for those two references. Jakkula combined those references with a later 1877 reference clearly describing the nearby famous River Dee suspension bridge.
Fens Bridge - England, Fens District in the east of England, over the Hundred Feet River  
Ingestre Bridge - England, Staffordshire Co., Ingestre  
Leith Bridge - England  
Morpeth Bridge - England, Northumberland Co., Morpeth  
Shadwell Bridge - England, Sun Tavern Fields, Shadwell 1848 Shadwell - Shadwell, England, United Kingdom
Shoreham Bridge - England, West Sussex Co., (Shoreham) New Shoreham, over the river Adur 1833 Norfolk - Shoreham, England, United Kingdom
Examining Jakkula's citations, this record is just based on 1840s references to William Tierney Clark's 1833 Norfolk/Shoreham bridge which Jakkula covers in Section B.
Surrey Zoological Gardens Bridge - England  
Widcombe Bridge - England, Somerset Co., Widcombe, over the Avon River Jakkula cites an Engineering News article referring to an 1877 incident where this bridge collapsed under the weight of "200 people." This Widcombe bridge was actually a bowstring truss (or truss of similar appearance). Even recent (2010s) articles about the incident sometimes describe it as a "suspension bridge" based on the original erroneous accounts of the incident.
Abainville Footbridge - France  
Andance Bridge - France, Andance over the Rhone River 1827 Andance - Andance, Ardèche and Andancette, Drôme, France
Arignac-Bompas Bridge - France, Ariege, in the Communes of Arignac and Bompas, over the Ariege River

Condrieu Bridge - France, Rhone, Condrieu, over Rhone River 1935 Condrieu - Condrieu, Rhône and Les Roches-de-Condrieu, Isère, France
Cormery Bridge - France, Indre et Loire or Indre, Cormery, over the Indre River Cormery - Cormery and Truyes, Indre-et-Loire, France
Courcelles Bridge - France, Eure, Courcelles, near Gaillon, over the Seine River 1846 Maison-Rouge - Courcelles-sur-Seine, Eure, France
Cournon Bridge - France, Puy-de-Dome, Cournon, over the Allier River

Ferennez Bridge - France, Finistere, over the Aulne (Aune) River 1925 Térénez - Landévennec vicinity and Rosnoen vicinity, Finistère, France
Jakkula's source ("The Superiority of the Steel Bridge - Beauty, Strength, Permanence, Flexibility, Movability, Economy. American Institute of Steel Construction. 1929) does, indeed, have "Ferennez," but this almost certainly is a typo for "Térénez."

Fourques Bridge - France, Fourques, over a branch of the Rhone 1830 Fourques - Fourques, Gard and Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France

St. Vallier Bridge - France, St. Drome, St. Vallier, over the Rhone River  
Siagne River Bridge - France, Alpes-Maritimes, over the Siagne River, on the road from Toulon to Antibes  
Tauriac Bridge - France, Lot, Tauriac, over the Dordogne River Jakkula cites an 1866 advertisement for bids to replace a ferry. The Dordogne is very wide at this point (about one kilometer) and this location is just a bit downstream from the grand 1839 Saint André-de-Cubzac multi-span suspension bridge (which failed in 1869). It is doubtful a suspension bridge was ever constructed across the Dordogne near Tauriac -- it would have been a very large and noteworthy bridge for the 1860s.
