Ed is of course right. How to map it is a more vexed problem. I think I'd
still map it as a footbridge with handrail and a note that it was damaged
(or even ford=yes as well): if you report it to your local highway
authority it may get fixed.

The reason I'm responding to this is that I've been meaning to ask if we
have a common means of tagging these plank bridges across ditches & streams
which are so common on footpaths. Has anyone tried to deliberately map this
type of bridge? Are planks a standard width so that width=* can readily be
tagged? My father finds the 1-plank wide ones a little awkward to manage
now that his balance is not so good.
