I can confirm the temporary bridge is there and almost as fun to cross as the "BOUNCY" suspension bridge over Woods Creek. :)
The end on the north end requires some climbing up metal loops embedded into the rock to get up tot he trail. A little tricky with a full backpack on, but doable.

I also saw several overflights of helicopters a couple days later after I left MTR. I think they were delivering supplies to the construction site.

When I got to Reds Meadow, someone said that the permanent bridge was now installed. But I haven't been able to find any mentions or pictures that it is in fact finished.
Anyone been that way after August 25th have any first hand info?
