The following is a list of the world's highest defunct temporary footbridges that were used for the construction of permanent road and rail bridges as well as dams. All of these spans were only built to last for a few years so that construction workers could access the opposite side of a deep canyon or valley before the permanent dam or bridge was completed parallel to the footbridge. Unlike public footbridges, these temporary crossings are usually simple in design with little more then crude chicken-wire or wood plank walkways and railings made of a few wires or some inexpensive plastic mesh. Also with few exceptions these are Tibet-style suspension bridges with the deck supported on sagging steel cables that have a natural catenary curve connected directly to concrete anchorages with no suspension towers. Since these suspension footbridges are unmaintained and usually become dilapidated quickly, most are removed soon after the main bridge or dam is completed. The only known high temporary spans that are still in existence are the 198 meter high footbridge located next to the Beipanjiang Railway Bridge Shuipan in Guizhou Province, China and the 150 meter high Luolu arch footbridge also in Guizhou Province. Both are in an extremely decrepit state and should not be traversed by anyone except for the bravest and most fearless souls.
