The new bridges were completed in 2021 to replace the original I-81 bridges that had been in place since 1965.

This explains why there is no Bridge Hunter post for the 1965 bridge, it was also a UCEB (Ugly Concrete Eyesore Bridge.) According to Google Earth, construction started on the new bridge later in 2016.
