Salt Creek Old IN 450 Bridge

Yes, this road/bridge is closed. This road is also known as Old Williams Road. Something that I found strange about this bridge is towards the middle of the bridge there is a manhole cover leading to(?) If anybody might have a clue as to why there is a manhole cover in the middle of this bridge, please advise.

This bridge was closed recently. The new SR 450 bridge was built years ago. I guess the county did not want to maintain the bridges use for vehicles anymore.
