The article states they worked on the Vire River Railroad Bridge
...began building the double-track, three-span masonry arch railway bridge over the Vire River on the Lison-St Lo Line. This would have started on August 4th, 1944. It says bombing had damaged the center span.
They worked on several bridges around St Lo, but also worked on another masonry-arch bridge over the Soulle River.It states it was missing a span eighty feet over the river.
So it looks like it may be the Soulle River Bridge
