While tracing US-20+US-14 east from Yellowstone National Park until they separated, I notice the Google Maps label of "Old Rairden Bridge."

The Old Rairden Bridge is a pin-connected through truss span of 250' (76m). [BridgeHunter]

The replacement bridge is no spring chick.

It looks like the "new" bridge has a steel-girder approach span.
