Amusingly, the new detailed city experience on Apple Maps has the temporary bridge (complete with S curves on the approaches). It will be fun to see how long that sticks around.

Girders spanned the entire Charles when my bus passed over the temporary bridge Saturday! Operator had a lead foot and a clear lane ahead, so I couldn't get a photo, but I counted at least three of the four lines of girders reaching the opposite bank.
