Bridge looks too low with no decent footings. (Or no plan if the water got that high.)
Bridged many a gap with that damn thing.

Adal I saw that, together with the width and length they were reaching, practically a thru truss bridge. Difficult situation for the abutments and anchors with such little contour and the heavy rains I assume they get from time to time.
Sounds like you got a fair share of repairing hands and fingers then.
Moving forward they may want to consider a Mabey Bridge, developed by a former manufacturer of the Bailey Bridge but has permanent applications.

I certainly have sympathy for people going through hurricanes however IIRC there was some questionable governance regarding the 2017 events…*
Here is a cool (-20f) application of a Bailey Bridge still in use. The location is old Camp Hale, training area for the 10th Mountain Division and 99th Infantry Battalion Separate during WWII. The remaining foundations of the main hall/ gymnasium can be seen in the background. Typical use in this case is for pedestrians, snow mobiles and Razor type vehicles.
