These two bridges are (were) in Creamton, PA, a small "village" near Honesdale PA. It's really just a handful of houses at a crossroads. This is the East Branch of the Lackawaxen river. It's really just a stream. You can normally walk across it from rock to rock without getting your feet wet.

Here's the first bridge:

This second bridge almost had a fatality. The man who was driving this pickup was able to get out of his truck before it got pinned under the guardrail and pole. He was found downstream with most of his clothes torn off, and it took half a dozen people to pull him out, he was so tangled up in debris. His obesity didn't help either. He was very bruised, but otherwise OK.
