Prior quadrangles show a USGS gaging station at the bridge.
Not much to add but a facebook page where some folks pondered on this bridge's remains in 2015.

Melissa, my guess is that this bridge had been abandoned for a long time. Obviously when it fell no one was very concerned about it, so you might not find a news article relating to it.
I've been searching for information on this Mystery but nothing so far
Don, Thank you. I'd love to read it. I am one of the few without FB. I'll check it out soon on my mom's or my friend's account.
