I wouldnt accept that as a source. For something like that there will
almost always be something in a local newspaper.

I don't see a problem, you can just obtain the

the bridge's telephone number, and ring them, and stick the telephone
number on the talk page and how you found it (the number is normally a
public number anyway, so there's likely to be no privacy issues).
Anybody wanting to verify it can ring the number. You have then
referenced the information. There may well be websites as well you can
reference.
It's only OR if *you* are making a new *synthesis* of information.
Merely ringing somebody or looking at something on the web to see if
the bridge is open/closed isn't OR, it's just consulting a source.
