They haven’t replaced a steel bridge since 1888?

They did. It's a remote rural area, so there's no money in tearing it down probably. It's been pedestrian-only since 1962 when they built the new bridge a few hundred meters further down. Ironically enough, the wiki says the "new" bridge deck is in bad shape and they're currently exploring ways to overhaul it.

Well, 1962 was 60 years ago.

Some of it was replaced after the great flood

Most of the new york city elevated is that old. As long as you sand away any rust and paint it regularly, itll hold up.
