Aug. '16 - parked on road just west of where this bridge was supposed to be located, walked 1/2 mile to west and south end of creek bend and headed north in search for it, currently listed as unknown status but confirmed it has been washed out, deconstructed, or could be considered "lost" now.....see photos.
