US-20 emergency replacement of bridge over Twenty Mile Creek near North East, PA

(Satellite, didn't look in Bridge Hunter or Historic Bridges because these are UCEB (Ugly Concrete Eye Sore) bridges.)

This 1973 bridge "was closed to traffic in February 2024 following a design analysis of the structure."
It took just a little over a year to build the replacement: Sep 3, 2024, to Oct 17, 2025. But it took over a half year after the closure to start construction. Average annual usage is 2,500, and federal taxpayers helped pay for the $9,614,010 cost.

From this view, I thought it was a concrete girder bridge, but the above view clearly shows the steel girders.

The provided URL is the dot link above. Obviously, this bridge also uses steel girders. The culvert in the middle of the view is under the CSX/NYC tracks.
