Bridge sat until 2016, when it was restored, and converted to a multi-use path, which is intended to be part of a larger pathway system that may or may not ever be completed. 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.

I'll have to admit, I didn't even realize it was an entry until I re-read the description. (Rail -> Road -> Bike Trail.) I was thinking of something more recent, and certainly not where something brand new was built just for the motor traffic, I'll say it's a winner.

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.
