I'm not sure there even is a truss within 50 miles of this spot..but it may be worth suggesting to MNDOT. I know Minnesota has gotten better about reusing old trusses:

It's a bummer that Milan ( http://bridgehunter.com/mn/chippewa/5380/ ) was presumably demolished well before this bridge will be replaced. This may have been a decent spot.
Of course, Sulphur Lake ( http://bridgehunter.com/mn/redwood/4667/) is scheduled to be removed this year, and I have not heard of it being removed quite yet.
