Browns Park swinging bridge, closed since 2014, might get funding from Utah

The Salt Lake Tribune reports on a remote bridge connecting NE Utah and NW Colorado that's been closed since an overweight truck damaged the deck in 2014.

... The bridge links northeast Utah with Colorado's Moffat County, enabling hunters and ranchers to reach otherwise inaccessible areas – or it did before the summer of 2014, when the tractor damaged the decking, rendering it unsafe to cross.

... The bridge is at the halfway point on what would be the 50-mile run on Browns Park Road from the Jones Hole Road outside Vernal to U.S. Highway 191 north of Dutch John. From the south, Brown Park Road enters Colorado and crosses the bridge on County Road 83, which Ts into Colorado State Highway 318. This road heads west back into Utah where it again takes the name Browns Park Road.

... Browns Park is one of only two remaining functional swinging bridges in Colorado. The other crosses Royal Gorge 900 feet above the Arkansas River.

That bridge looks like it should only be open to people, not cars and trucks.

It's even more daunting looking when you look at the bridge structure from the river bed:

What the hell was someone thinking trying to get a tractor over this thing?  I'm amazed they made it to the center of the bridge.
