Out of frame to the near right, the Seven Oaks Dam; waaaayy out of frame (and well beyond the horizon) to the left, the Pacific Ocean. Bonus: box 'o White Claws near the railing.

View of New Greenspot Bridge from Old Greenspot Bridge.

We let our old bridges go to such ruin that we had to build a brand new bridge nearby, and this old one is going to be replaced, someday. The plans look nice, I might even get a chance to ride on the finished product during the 2020's.
