I'm of the opinion that relocated spans should have new entries made for their new locations, especially considering some of the long distance moves some spans make (For example, the numerous railroad bridge relocations John Marvig has found evidence of.)
Technical website question: I found the new location of this bridge, now on private property, and visited and photographed it. To preserve information about the previous location and use of this bridge, should the new location and use of this bridge become a new entry? It is no longer on South Smith Road. It would simply be tagged "relocated" with a link to the new entry.
This would also avoid confusion with the new replacement bridge now under construction, which will likely be unremarkable.
Or should I post coordinates and photos of its new location here?

Unfortunately, Wisconsin is like the Grim Reaper when it comes to historic bridges! Although not quite as nice as the Turtleville/Lathers Road Bridge, this is still a neat bridge and pairs beautifully with the stone arches nearby!
Isn't is ironic that they apparently used an old photo in the newspaper article as it appears the bridge has been painted Green for many years now!
Shame that they want to replace a nice truss with nice views of the nearby stone arch viaduct.

I have done as Luke advised, and created a new entry for the relocated bridge. It is linked in "Related Bridges".
