Although I condemn trespassing, most bridges, including this one are on public roads (though some roads may be carry almost no traffic, or may dead-end at a closed bridge). The public right-of-way generally extends at least a few feet on either side of the road/bridge. Unless walking over a particular bridge is forbidden (Interstate Highway briges or railroad bridges for example), there should be no trespassing issues encountered while visiting a bridge or the immediate area.
I would never knowingly trespass onto private land to visit a bridge. I believe in asking permission first. That being said, the overwhelming majority of the bridges on this site are publically accessible.
