Looking from the 1815 bridge to the 1932 bridge with a semi-truck trailer peaking through the truss from the 1980s bridge.

1932
Note the 1815 bridge in the background.

The truss is skewed.

The trusses look modern because there are very few built-up members. As HistoricBridges points out, the sway braces use V-lacing and the bottom of the compression chords use lattice.

1980s
I found a big enough gap in the trees to confirm that the interstate bridge is a steel-girder bridge.

The only other street view was back in 2008. Those old views make you appreciate how much the street view cameras have improved. Like another photo of these bridges, this view is a reminder that interstate roads attract billboards.
