Any idea of the date of the last of the three photos? It's almost unbelievable that the bridge had been allowed to become an eyesore overgrown with vegetation and then resurrected into what we see in the second photo. I'm taking a wild guess the last photo would have been taken in the 1960s based upon the nature of the street lights seen between the arches.
