I know it's late, but I stumbled upon this thread and found some information relevant to the location of this bridge.

The coordinates of where it once stood are: 40°18'32.13"N, 76°39'58.20"W.

According to this site, "This bridge was destroyed by fire in the summer of 1967 not long after the Hershey Estates had painstakingly restored it."

Thanks Levi !
