Mike,

If you’re still active on the site, the bridge is still there as of today, but last I was there they were doing something with the bridge (that was seven months ago though and nothing appears to have happened), so I’d say your chances of seeing the bridge are still pretty good.

I documented this bridge back in November 2020 I posted the photos in a abandoned themed group on FB recently and someone commented that demolition on this bridge has started. Can anyone confirm? I had planned on revisiting this bridge again once my health issues were over
