This appears to be a former rail bridge--the alignment to the south from the bridge leads to the town of Hancock where some of the track still exists. Also, looking at the satellite view, the bridge appears to be a lattice truss with very heavy members and has ties for the deck, typical mainly of railroad bridges.
