I don't think another bridge was built on these abutments in the 1980s. A friend and I used to drive across Sixteen Mile Creek there in the 90s and the crossing at that time was considerably further down the slope and essentially crossed at the creek level, over a cheaply-made bridge that was closed every winter and then finally for good around the time of the article you mention. I took a number of photos of that bridge it was in rough shape and it was replaced earlier this decade by a dedicated pedestrian bridge at the same spot. The abutments themselves were never anything but a suggestive mystery to me in all the years we went there, until finding these photos in more recent years.
