BridgeHunter_1926 attributes Joel's photo to HAER. But this is the photo I found there.

The replacement bridge also has bears at the portal.
This view is good enough to guess that the replacement bridge is a steel-girder bridge. I presume that the slanted piers are an artifact of street view rather than reality.
I did find a view with vertical piers.
This is the original road alignment.

This shows the new and old alignments of US-101. It also shows that the town of Klamath got wiped out by the flood as explained in the above plaque image. A satellite map shows that they rebuilt the town on higher ground.
