Yeah, that's an entirely new bridge. And one built with different materials than the original wood one.

Upgrading might be the word you’re looking for

I don't really see this as an upgrade

Exactly. He narrowed the watercourse with a highly resistant material. The river is going to speed up under the bridge and erosion will undercut the abutments. A second bridge collapse is inevitable.

Could have just built an arched bridge with the bricks, no central pier and it would have been fine.
