This arch and the now-removed truss (https://bridgehunter.com/in/dearborn/guilford-truss/) nearby were bypassed on a new alignment with concrete arches built in 1929: https://books.google.com/books?id=iE9BAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA164&lpg=...
Article also gives a line construction date of 1849-1850, but the arch looks more 1860s IMHO.
