Red Arrow Highway Bridge
Posted February 12, 2019, by Mike Kerkau (mjkerkau [at] gmail [dot] com)

The 1992 NBI has this listed as a tee beam rather than a steel stringer - though that doesn't necessarily mean anything, from looking at older listings in other counties I've seen types change over the years where it didn't involve the bridge being replaced.

This is also visible from the current road, though you have to do a full zoom on StreetView to really get any kind of look at it.
