Local Bridge Program is a application process to MDOT by counties. Sometimes MDOT grants the money other times they do not. Some bridges in rural counties are applied for annually by counties and annually rejected by MDOT. I am not sure if the county application was ever funded by MDOT.
"Bridge Status: This bridge's owner has applied for 2013 Local Bridge Program demolition funding!"
Six years ago, but I wonder if there's been any change in status since then?
Satellite appears to be a really bad rendering in this area, like there's a piece of the bridge on the north side of the river but nothing actually crossing it, except that the imaging doesn't seem natural. It looks more like the bridge might still be there, but the image is abruptly cut off below that north side piece.

The bridge is still standing in the image i see on google. The south half looks like its missing because its in the shade and looks black.
