Today I looked it up (July 2, 2019) to see when it is supposed to open, and it turns out it did open&#8211;today! The original schedule was for it to open in August.

The owner of the black building on the far left of today&#8217;s photo paid for the bridge. The bridge is a drawbridge, but not in the classical sense. As you can see, the parts don&#8217;t go up.
