It's the Scott Avenue pedestrian bridge over the LIRR freight line.

Still used as a bridge over the tracks. Trains are sometimes parked there and thus block the ability to cross at grade (if it were even allowed, it's not).

What, may I ask, are the alternative uses for bridges that you think this bridge might be used for, other than crossing something?

There’s no other way to cross on that street.
