A topic on this exists, I have searched, but it is only for modern ones in major use. In this thread, everything would go, for any bridge that utilizes wood as a major feature of its construction, except covered ones.
There is a wooden truss bridge in Kamloops, British Columbia like this.

We also used to have a wooden swing pontoon bridge here in NC, but it was removed, unfortunately. More on that later as I'm writing this post on limited time.
Most covered bridges in my experience would fall under this.
Eagle River Bridge (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Eagle+River+Falls+%26+Dam/@47.4138051,-88.2956606,3a,82.6y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipM7q5opJCyi8yqp272J4ncZ72VZLbKIhl5hcuM!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipM7q5opJCyi8yqp272J4ncZ72VZLbKIhl5hcuM%3Dw156-h117-k-no!7i736!8i552!4m5!3m4!1s0x4d509e494e8275e1:0xaaa57d59c53a07c6!8m2!3d47.4122184!4d-88.296411?hl=en) on M-26 in Eagle River, Michigan. Actually replaced a metal truss bridge (now used for pedestrians and bicyclists and viewing the falls) next to it.
One of my favorites is an unnamed wooden vehicle bridge on the north end of Summerland Key just off the Overseas Highway that I used to run to from time to time:

Oops. I had actually intended to exclude covered ones in the post title when I thought about this post a few days ago, apparently I forgot. You just inadvertently reminded me of that, so I guess I'll change the title.
What about the Oliver Bridge in WI/MN?
The Oldtown Low Water Toll Bridge across the Potomac River isn't the most confidence-inspiring bridge deck:
(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi31.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fc378%2F1995hoo%2FRoad%2520sign%2520pictures%2FOldtown_2_zps9a111350.jpg&hash=ab6db2c73e079fed4684d722ba78246d18f10b27)
(I should note the picture is from July 2013 and the bridge probably has a different deck now after a flood swept the bridge away either later in 2013 or sometime in 2014.)
Long gone now, this bridge spanned the CSX tracks on Gunston Cove Rd (https://goo.gl/maps/2y3bciTpnRK2) in the Lorton, VA area. After it was closed to traffic in 2004 due to unsafe conditions, it was unclear as to who was responsible for costs to either repair or remove the bridge. It was eventually removed sometime after 2012 due to the price tag of repairs.

Could have sworn the bottom deck was wooden at some point.
The Briceburg Bridge near CA 140 over the Merced River has a wooden deck:

What a coincidence, this bridge was in the exact same neighborhood I used to live in. If I still lived there today I could walk down to the site where the bridge used to be in about a minute.
And here's that pontoon bridge.
http://bridgehunter.com/nc/brunswick/190198/
The locals had tried to preserve it, I believe, but to no avail. Sad that it was one of the only examples left in the whole country and it gets replaced.
After digging through the memory banks, I came up with one more. Southwest of Lynchburg and north of Lynch Station is this bridge on Tardy Mountain Rd (https://goo.gl/maps/GFveDqk8rG82)over a set of railroad tracks. VDOT wants to replace it (http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/lynchburg/route_711,_campbell_county.asp), but as of this post has no money allocated for it.
Former BC 99a, King George Blvd over the Nicomekl River, Surrey. Not only is it wooden, but the lane split is between traffic going the same direction. The other bridge has undivided two-way traffic. I don't know why they need two northbound lanes. It's since been turned back to local authority, so now it's Surrey's problem. Google Street View. (https://goo.gl/maps/mGHPZceH39s)

I've driven these bridges a few times as they are not far from me, and it's a great little ride out into the bay. This was originally supposed to continue further south to Atlantic City before they gave up on completing this route. These two bridges are signal controlled to alternate the direction of traffic, but I've encountered another car coming the other way (I made him back up after a brief standoff - It was green at least for me when I started and I was a little more past the halfway point!). People fishing on these bridges also make it a little challenge to get across without taking anyone out.

I should hope so! Let's hope the structure is reasonably fire-resistant (no wood product/structure is completely "fireproof") considering the wildfires that have become commonplace in mountainous areas of the West. Otherwise, a laminate wood structure should hold up quite well for at least several decades (the stuff is pretty stress-resistant as well).

I wonder how quick those little wooden bridges would have been replaced, had the route been completed. To my understanding it'd be a pretty high traffic route, as it's more direct, however, I wouldn't know, as I don't know the area. The crossing of the Great Bay would have been an interesting one.
By the looks of it, some of the other two lane bridges on there have wooden supports. The whole thing also would have made for an interesting route if it were totally completed.
In Monongalia County, West Virginia, a wooden through arch bridge was built on Buckeye Road over Dunkard Creek about 2005: https://goo.gl/maps/SEqZC86rGiw
The bridge originally had a deck made of composite materials, but it did not hold up well. It was replaced after a couple years with a more conventional deck.
Woodcock Road over Dungeness River near Squim, Washington. (https://goo.gl/maps/CbuaxXiv7Vs) What struck me about this bridge is that they recreate a modern Jersey barrier profile in wood.

They're not road/highway bridges, but many of the shorter bridges on the UP/former SP main line paralleling CA 99 in the San Joaquin & Sacramento valleys are of wood construction (deck on pilings); while likely not the original structures from the 1870's, they have held up quite well considering that line is one of the most heavily trafficked in the western U.S. Some of the longer river bridges (e.g the Kings and San Joaquin river crossings) were until recently composite wood/steel construction; the outer spans were built on wood pilings sunk into the riverbank, while the spans over the river channels themselves were steel girders atop stone bents; over the last 30 years those bridges have been rebuilt as steel and concrete structures.
Quite a few in Pennsylvania if you know where to look :)
Along SR 410, southeast of Enumclaw, Washington sits a wooden bridge between a Weyehaeuser mill and scales. The mill and scales are gone, but the bridge remains. Since they deal with lots of wood products, it made sense to build the bridge out of wood.

I didn't realize until now that part of this wooden bridge was disassembled and reassembled at Walt Disney World.
(https://www.florida-backroads-travel.com/images/the-old-wabasso-bridge-finds-a-new-home-at-walt-disney-world-21852237.jpg)
The old Wabasso Bridge was built in 1927 and crossed the Indian River Lagoon between the small town of Wabasso on the mainland and Orchid Island north of Vero Beach, Florida. A new high-level bridge was built and opened in 1970.
When we lived in the area in the 60s we drove across the wooden bridge a number of times. The timbers rattled and seemed to move some as the car moved across. I did cross the new bridge on one of my later trips to Florida/

On Saturday, my wife and I took a short trip to Arkansas for our 11th anniversary. On the way there, we took a scenic route, and that included AR-187 across the Little Golden Gate Bridge in the town of Beaver. My wife has a fear of bridges over water, so I made sure not to tell her about this bridge until we were almost upon it. She was brave: even though the sound of the boards clunking underneath our car unnerved her, she was the one who took the pictures. The bridge is one lane with wooden decking. And yes, it's part of a state highway.

We don't live too far from here, and have that same picture, so I guess we were there the same day you were. Went into the store at the corner which was just barely above the water level and talked to the lady running the register. Apparently, someone there had just drowned a couple hours before our visit, so it was rather somber in there. We take that way every time we go to Branson as we just love this bridge.
There's another wooden bridge in Benton County, AR not 25 miles from there next to War Eagle Mill. In fact, it's about to get really busy at the end of this month with the arts and crafts festival they have there. Lots of others in the surrounding counties as well. Below is the location of said bridge and mill.

We don't live too far from here, and have that same picture, so I guess we were there the same day you were.
The Facebook pictures were not my own. That was a month after our trip there; if I remember right, it's a screenshot of my wife's phone as she was looking through people's posts in our living room.
The YouTube link visible in the screenshot is of drone footage:

12th Street over BNSF Railroad near Francis, Oklahoma. Bridge was demolished in 2016, 2 days after I took these photos.
IIRC I crossed a wooden bridge to get to Bluefield Beverage in Bluefield VA/WV. We loaded soft drinks for Kroger in Atlanta. The bridge must have been reinforced b/c we came out of there with gross wts 78k+.
There I s a wooden bridge over the Bricktown Canal just north of OKC boulevard near Bass Pro Shop.

There used to be quite a few small one lane wooden ones in the back roads of Central Florida and in some state parks. Many have been replaced with concrete in the last 10 years but there are a few remaining here and there. Probably dating back to the 1920s-30s.

The newer Lainer Bridge near Dade City is still wooden if I remember right?
Since this thread was revived, it doesn't look like anyone mentioned the Albion River Bridge in California (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion_River_Bridge), carrying SR 1. I don't have a good picture of my own, but the current bridge dates from 1944. Wartime concrete and steel shortages lead to wood being used.
A couple months back I sought out the 1938 Dinkey Creek Bridge which is the only only wooden bowstring arch structure in California:

Not familiar with that area but that does seem to be the case from the most recent Streetview.

Found it in my photo stock, steel frame with a wooden road deck:

What about the Oliver Bridge in WI/MN?
Very much not a wooden bridge.
Could have sworn the bottom deck was wooden at some point.
We drove over it in the 90s and it was definitely wood. the next time in the early 00s it had been paved.
