This one has in fact been replaced by a culvert, looks like recently, opens up both ends of the road though which may have been a key issue in it's demise creating necessary through traffic

This one seems to have been dropped from the NBI. It may have been replaced by a culvert, or it may be closed and rusting in peace.
