It would appear that some have been built from plans of different designers, as there are different angles in the truss supports of the 'multiple-kingpost truss school', in the Western pair, to the eastern truss bridge, which seems to be of the Warren Truss design. The eastern one has a pedestrian pathway attached to the side of it.
Also, while the basic angled-metal is similar, there are difference in how they are finished off from one pair of bridges, to the neighbouring one - which is 'open-sided'.
They are each are single-span, with concrete abutments.
