Saddle Barn Road Bridge
I was in Bedford a few months ago, and this bridge was opened. It has a new wooden deck with an asphalt overlay. The county also poured some new concrete on the roadway at each end of the bridge. The work on the wooden deck is not the best, as some of the planks are still loose and banged when I drove over it.

This bridge was closed in the last two weeks. Unsure if there are plans to restore it at this time.

I forgot to post the photograph I took. It is a nice old bridge, but the rust is getting heavy on the underside.
