I can confirm that the previous bridge at this location was indeed a seven panel Pratt truss. It is shown on the plans for the steel stringer bridge (which is itself slated for demolition and replacement probably next spring)

No, but it mentioned Croswell-Lexington and the bend in the river leads me to believe its Peck Road.

Did this come from a source that identified it as Peck Road?

Only because, Sanborn Street just to the north shows a through truss that would presumably still have been there until 1974. (On HA, 1959 has the best identifying image of the truss.)
