Interesting history! I had to wonder if this bridge originally had R4 railings as it is pretty similar in design to a lot of the T-beam overpasses on Michigan's superhighways.
Unfortunate that they're replacing it but not surprising as Deerfield Road is extremely busy at the site and quite narrow with little to no shoulders (riding bicycle along it was not the greatest idea as I found out!).
