Thankfully, it looks like it will be an attractive one bundled with some nearby improvements to the path.

I have actually been in contact with the Town of Gilbert project coordinator on this bridge. He had let me know that the construction contract was to start on May 20th (having moved back a few times from the original completion date of late 2019). I did a ride on the Powerline Trail on May 19th and there were no indications that work had commenced.
I sent an email my contact to get verification if construction has started. I really hope so as this was always aggravating to carry my bike across the tracks!
