Bonifay, Belle, Evans bridges made out of treated wood are being replaced.....same vintage as Brownwood.
Read a very interesting article on the process and the different grades of pressure treated lumber. The application will determine the grade of lumber to be used. This grade is actually on the lumber itself.

My guess is someone managed to use the wrong grade for the application either by accident or perhaps to save a few bucks.
