This cantilever bridge has a main span of 730' (222.5m) and a total length of 2,037' (621m).
"The bridge's central truss span has very short cantilever arms (only three panels), making the suspended span unusually long, occupying the majority of the central span with its fourteen panels."

This bridge is in the background and the Rochester-Monaca Bridge is in the foreground.

I think this photo is of this bridge. In general, the containers on the two cars in the left foreground carry garbage. Or sometimes contaminated dirt. Note that they are heavy enough that they can only put six containers on a car even though there is room for eight.

This confirms that the above photo is of this bridge.
