re: Pics added. Looking for suggestions on a creek crossing

Approach from the west. Bridge in place is 40 foot. It's too long to lay in the bed and will be moved to another crossing after some repair. Where it is now, we have to get a large trackhoe every year to come out and move it so we can't get it back straight. Last August it swung and was long ways in the creek.

Debris that wedges under it
Tree it's anchored to that won't last much longer

Only option is a concrete pad which is common in oil/gas back roads. It will eventually tilt.

Low-water crossing would be perfect for 4 wheelers and tractors, assuming it's not 3' deep.

Concrete mats that let the water flow over the top without eroding would be ideal. Contech makes some armorflex mats for this purpose.
You can't just set the mats on the creek bottom. You need to dig out the upstream and downstream limits and bury the ends. Contech Low Water Crossing
