THAT picture gives some real perspective, not a small insignificant beam. Okay, now I definitely understand why the bridge is closed.

Sorry, those are not photos of the same problem, and probably not even pictures from the same bridge:

From the photo you posted, it looks like it is not just the visible break but to the left down the beam in the photo are signs of another fracture. Judging from how close the piling is, the major part of the load is carried by huge I beams running across the bridge. It is hard to tell from the photo, but It looks repairable to me. A new Beam and inspect for other related failures.

Judging from that picture, that is not a main support beam. Those are the huge girders sitting on the pillars.
