Tongue River Bridge
Sure looks like a bridge to me, right under the red pin. The deck looks overgrown with grass.

If a human was to look at google earth or maps that human will see that the truss has been kept and is sitting on the ground just south of the new bridge. Hopefully, someone will get curious and go confirm this, but for now, my word has to stand.

A new bridge is shown in satellite imagery, was it relocated somewhere else?
