But would it be accepted as proof that there was activity on said bridge?
You could always have someone stand in front if holding a newspaper
with the current date on it while traffic flows behind it. However,
that might be OR. Best to use it to convince the "reliable source" to
issue a retraction. Then use the retraction as a reference in the WP
article.
That's the drawback with referring to secondary sources exclusively.
What do you do when those sources contradict something you definitely
know to be true? Strictly following WP policy, the only thing you can
do is not even mention whether or not a bridge is open.
