If that picture is of the bridge right at the N ?border of Sequoia NP (and it sure looks like it), the water is Piute Creek. I exited over Piute Pass from there last year and had planned to do it in reverse this summer to pick up the JMT SOBO where I left off. I don’t think that’s the bridge that washed out, which is farther south. Gorgeous route, by the way, all 17 miles to the Piute Pass TH.?

You would hope so, but I recall that bridge that washed out in 2017 (Middle Fork Kings? Bubbs Creek?) took quite a long time to replace.
Here's the bridge in question, on July 15, 2017 - check out the river flow!! I would not attempt to cross that under any circumstances without a bridge.
