Old Puyallup River Bridge moved in one piece

The old Puyallup River bridge is being replaced. They pulled out the old bridge in one piece. Here's a photo of the bridge being moved. I hope this link works.

It's amazing that an old "iron" bridge could be moved in one piece--must have been built sturdy to hold together for the move!
What happens to the bridge now? Is it going to be a feature for the county in a park, or perhaps on the courthouse lawn (if the lawn is really large)?
Around here we have a lot of half-bridges. Part of the bridge collapsed, a new bridge was built next to the old one, and the half-bridge is a fishing spot.

I don't know. I was thinking that is should be preserved. I will find out.
Someone I know said that it will probably be torn apart & sent to the metal recycler.
It's small as far as bridges go. But does make a rather large lawn ornament.

I sincerely hope that the bridge is preserved.
