I think the leading photo is either of a different bridge or named incorrectly. Just wanted to give a heads up.
I think the Google maps location on this page is the Silver Bridge, not the Bartow Jones Bridge.
Tom Hoffman, I think the old bridge's name was the "Shadle Bridge". There are some pics on the Internet, & it was a cantilever truss.
I have some idea that the previous bridge here may have been an older cantaliever truss. Does anybody have any info regarding the history of this former bridge?

Kate,
I think the name of the river is misspelled in the title of the first photo but, otherwise, it seems to be the same structure as the other photos and streetview. Note: the other photos were shot with a telephoto lens so the image seems compressed as compared to streetview. Photo 2 was shot from over quarter mile away - the sign on the right is still there just quite a distance away.
Regards,
