In Dec. 2012, the Macon County Commission voted to assume ownership of the bridge from the state, and maintain it as a pedestrian-only bridge, according to the Smoky Mountain News. The state DOT will build a wider bridge for vehicle traffic downstream. The state will maintain ownership of the McCoy Bridge for eight years after the new bridge is built, then transfer McCoy Bridge to the county.

Carries pedestrian pathway over Little Tennessee River
Design: suspension/wire
Design Details: Throughout North Carolina there are over a dozen of these suspension footbridges - usually painted silver and posted with signs reading "Caution Bridge Capacity Limited To Four Persons". Much like VDOT to the north having their ~70 suspension footbridges, I believe these are NCDOT maintained bridges.
