Thanks.
Am I correct to assume that it remained in service until the I-35 bridge was built?

I would assume so, but I don't know for sure.

Here's a photo from opening in 1918: http://www.okladot.state.ok.us/hqdiv/p-r-div/spansoftime/newera.htm#fig8

On the Goldsby side of the river, the alignment of SH 74 is now Jesse St. and Adkins Hill Road. On the Norman side, SH-9/74 followed 24th St. S.W.

According to "ODOT 100", the South Canadian River bridge was begun in 1918. The bridge, under construction until 1923, replaced a private toll ferry. It was 2,280 feet long and was funded by $162,163.73 in Federal aid.
