Open or not?

The text of the article says the bridge is still open ("As of 2020, it was still used"), but the caption of one of the photos says the bridge is closed as of 2020 ("closed bridge in 2020", which is less than 1/4 over). Which is it? One of the passages should be revised. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:30, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the catch! I took a road trip and got the photo of it closed yesterday - thought I had fixed all the places that said it was open. It is not a bridge I go by regularly, so I am not sure if it is still closed from the 2018 flooding or what. The sides have some damage, though the trusses looked OK to me. It is open to foot traffic (I walked across it), but closed to vehicles. I changed the sentence to " As of 2020, it was the only remaining covered bridge over Muncy Creek...", Thanks again Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 17:40, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
