Very unusual bridge! Reference was made to two detail photos, which I was able to view for free online here:
https://newspaperarchive.com/washington-c-h-record-herald-de...
As seen in these two photos, it would appear to be composed of Phoenix columns, but its possible another builder purchased raw Phoenix columns as this bridge doesn't match any of the "name brand" Phoenix bridges.
Wonder if it could have been fabricated by Louisville Bridge & Iron.
The portals say early Phoenix to me but its hard to make out if they are Phoenix columns. Note the truss type!

The use of corrugated (ribbon lacing) for primary members, and the pin connected Warren truss configuration remains atypical.
