The status of the bridge is currently "pending", meaning its future is undetermined as the Section 106 process is ongiong. Depending on the outcome of Section 106 consultation, interested parties may be able to utilize the bridge. Lawrence County is now accepting proposals for the rehabilitation and reuse, or the storage and future reuse of the bridge.
