Sunnyside Rd Bridge

Road bridge naming conventions suggest that for the purpose of listings on this site, unless the bridge carries the railroad, it is named for the Street or Stream it crosses. If it were to be called MoPac bridge, then it would be mis-labeled. Of course the Rail line was originally the MoPac here in Arkansas, but merged with Union Pacific and is currently Union Pacific.

What's the difference between THIS bridge and the MoPAC bridge? Aren't they the same?
