It looks like we have the same problem. Im thinking about 6 to 8 ft wide and build out of ibeam where i can take a truck or tractor across it. My main issue now is how high to set it off the ground. Qe just bought he property and im not sure where the creek stops filling up at.

If you have any road reconstruction projects in your area, stop by and ask the contractor if they have any removal box culverts or concrete pipe.
I see hundreds of feet of this stuff that they actually have a hard time getting rid of due to the wire used in it.
A couple used pieces and you would have a crossing that would last forever with little maintenance

Remove the 4x4 in the center. It will not only wash out but will catch too much debris and that is what tears up your bridge. Put down a pair of 4x4s on either side, about halfway up the bank ,out of the normal water flow. This will actually give you a stronger bridge due to a shorter span. Don't worry about concreting in,just get them deep.
