We were told in our structures course that the bridge is structurally out of code/not safe.

That's half right. It's not unsafe, unless you'd like to label 95% of the bridges in the country as unsafe.

"Not safe" is very far from true. Out of code could be argued because the specifications now days would require a wider structure even with the same lanes. Loading criteria has significantly changed also, but that bridge is no where near "not safe".
