The bridge is closed to vehicles but is open to pedetrians and bikers. A number of people used the bridge while I was there.

This one appears to have been moved here and altered in 1896, including the removal of the outside panels. It appears to be extremely light, even lighter than the confirmed 1883 span that ended up in Washington County. I would expect this one to be late 1870s or early 1880s. Fortunately, I have a blueprint number that I perhaps can track this bridge down with.
This bridge appears to have been similar:
