This view is so old, it still has tracks on it. You can clearly see the swing span. The Google 3D software could not handle a side view of this bridge. But the eleven photos associated with the Satellite link show how it looks after it has been converted to a trail.

Tom Carter posted photos from 1977 and 2017, but they are in a closed group so I don't know if you can see them.
"This swing bridge ceased to swing in 1907 when boats stopped traveling the Grand River. The bridge carried trains up until 1975." [Historic Bridges]
