Comments
The lift span was replaced by a lift span same 2013 to the two towers correct and painted green then in service I'm from Cleveland the proof is in the pudding that the Columbus road bridge is still in use for vehicles
This bridge only had one span. That span was replaced in 2013. That means (drumroll) that the bridge is lost.
Furthermore, the "superstructure replaced" status option that Amanda herself used is nested below "demolished" in the dropdown box. So, by the webmaster's own standards, the bridge is lost.
It's lost. It should be marked as such.

This bridge is not lost or removed this bridge was painted green after a few years of the lift span replaced with another lift span, this bridge is still in use for vehicle traffic.

100% replacement of superstructure/main span = replacement. That has been a standard on this website (and mine) for a long time. Moreover, the composition of the built-up beams in the replacement truss do not match the historic truss, which further differs this project from heavy rehabs of bridges in Chicago where sometimes up to 90% of the truss spans have been replaced, albeit with near exact replicas with exception of rivets. http://www.americanbridge.net/featured-projects/columbus-roa...
