It is if you climb them. I've photographed several abandoned lift bridges and they are wonderful. As for urban exploration being really urban what about barns? People do them.....and that's as rural as you can get.

I agree... I wonder if the OP would not explore the bridges if everyone said "Nope, doesn't count - not URBAN enough"
It really doesn't matter... just go explore if you think you might enjoy it.

In fact, anything man-made or natural, in use or not, urban or rural, old or new is fair game for me. It just has to be appealing or interesting.

Bingo!
When reading "Urban Exploration", ignore the word "Urban".

Tell that to the Border Patrol.  Seriously, there's one bridge that I want to look at more closely, but unfortunately, it's an international crossing. That bridge is closed, with razor wire-topped concrete barriers near the Canadian side, but there's one right next to it that's still in use, so the Border Patrol keeps an officer in a vehicle stationed off to the side and somewhat obscured by foliage. I still need to get around to e-mailing the company that owns the bridge, to obtain permission to photograph the deck and from the deck. Satellite photos just don't cut it.

Of course they are!!!! Yeah, the name UE implies "urban" but so many people out in the country explore, I used to, and it's just easier to lump that into UE than to make up some silly separate name....
So far I've seen people explore remote drains, bridges, reservoirs, you name it, if it's explorable, it's UE.

Why does it need to be abandoned? Appreciate active infrastructure, people! Don't wait until all the life is gone from these places.

I think a general attraction most people here share is the appreciation of places man has created, and then for the most part forgotten or ignored. This can be abandoned buildings, yes, but it can also be drains, tunnels, bridges.. anything really. The parts of active sites that are off the beaten path qualify too, I think.

I can appreciate this quote. Where I currently live (Busan, South Korea) there are NO buildings over 100 years and abandoned. There are some 50 year old structures and plenty of younger structures that are in a sense of decay, but still in use. I'd like to walk around ruins and take photos, but i can't. Do I give up? No, I don't. I just walk the streets and find 'urban' stuff that looks interesting. I think it's important not to think of 'urban exploration as just ruins and abandoned stuff, but your environment around yoo.

Correct. The idea that a bridge needs to be abandoned or (as someone else suggested) needs to be climbed in order for it to "count" as UE is simply ridiculous.
Urban exploration can be as complicated as making your way through a city's sewer system or as simple as taking a different route on your way home from work to see areas you've never seen before. I think that if you limit exploring to abandoned buildings, then you're missing out on a great deal of what a city (or rural area) has to offer.
