It's possible scattered light from under the 'bridge', if it is one, could be seen in the shadows if the dynamic range of the image allows. Bonestell painted numerous natural bridges on Mars, it would be nice to finally find one!

I unsuccessfully tried looking for dune patterns in the shadow to the right of the "bridge" which, if consistent with those in the rest of the trough, could point to steady wind patterns through the area. I would expect to see piling of sand on one (or both) sides if it was collapsed.
