It could be now, it could be closer to the time the bridge was built.

Well, except for that air conditioner in the window, and the modern streetlight...

I like to look for that sort of thing in movies, things like reflection off car windows on the Interstate highway sometimes visible in Westerns. Or airplane contrails.

Alas, nowadays these anachronisms are easily erased digitally, if the setting's not entirely a digital recreation itself.
