This excerpt catches the removal of the 1928 bridge on the left and the construction of the 2016 bridge.

Dennis DeBruler commented on Tom's post
The new bridge was done by Oct 2016. It looks like they were still removing the 1928 bridge. The article indicates that the marine operations were extremely tide-dependent.
[The new bridge was post-tensioned "in order to increase span lengths, reduce the number of piers, and provide for a wider, unobstructed channel."]
