As stated, the local/state/US epa-types need to get involved in 99% of the bridges made any more.

I'd look for some I beams, then you don't have to fool around with it any more. Cheapest thing in the long run, rebuilding old rotten wood every few years is a money hole... Dad put in 2 concrete ends, I beam span, 3-4" wood plank bridges in '64 & '74. Still going strong, takes the tractors & combines, spans a 14. county ditch, no new permits every time you need to rebuild, not wet combines. Sure were cheap bridges!

Do it right or don't do it. Can't imaging taking a pickup across old utility poles. Shutter.
