We already saw in
Reed Point, MT, that the Yellowstone River inundated its flood plain, covered a main highway and threatened the town.
A
Flickr photo showing the flood waters while the bridge was still intact.
"Built 1897, Relocated here 1918" It was damaged in the Spring of 2022 and removed in Aug 2022. The longest span in this 316' (96m) bridge was 155' (47m). [BridgeHunter]

posted two photos with the comment: "A collapsed train bridge is shown along the Yellowstone River Wednesday, June 15, 2022, near Livingston, Mont."

A reference on BridgeHunter indicates it was this bridge by MT-89.
The bridge was pin-connected.
At least the highway bridge survived the flood.

I am surprised that it eroded on the inside of the bend in the river. The current is normally stronger on the outside shore of a bend and that is normally where the erosion happens.
