Another bridge too far gone

You may recall my encounters with a pedestrian bridge on the way to work, but here is a road bridge on the under-populated eastern lake shore.

My car is on the other side; this is after I drove across it, for the first time.

It crosses a dried-up river bed but locals are digging for water. (Click picture)

 The whole area is dry.

But, talking of my pedestrian bridge, the Malachite kingfishers have had a brood! Here are a proud parent (red bill) and a child (black bill). They do slow down my walk to work.
