Which of the I-35 Service Roads is the Old US 81? The one with the new looking bridge (GSV) or the one with the older bridge hugged up against I-35?

I'm assuming neither. Toll Bridge Rd has old embankments for a bridge though.

The Street View is from May 2015 and shows construction on Toll Bridge Road at the river.

There was an old Whipple-Truss bridge here from the 1900's which
had been restored in the 1990's. It collapsed in 2006 after having been struck in a single-vehicle collision. Luckily someone catalogued the old bridge:
