My family and I drove to the Bridges To The Past and the Tioga Falls Trailhead Parking Area this afternoon (Sunday the 19th of February). Both trails are posted as closed until further notice due to ongoing heavy construction on what looked like a new elevated trestle crossing parallel to the current old crossing.

We also checked out Fort Duffield which is open. The boat launch on the Salt River in West Point is publicly owned now. There is a user fee which is self-registered if no attendant is present in the building.
