This bridge hasn't changed much since my 2005 visit. It is still posted for 15 tons (unlike its related close neighbor, the Grand Glaize Suspension Bridge rated for 3 tons) because of the newer suspension system. The original main cables are still present, lashed to the newer cables, but they are suspending very little. Only a few original suspenders remain and the original parallel strand main cables are slack. I was able to push them.
