For the double track section I selected Walthers Cornerstone Urban Steel Overpass.
Open the box and this is what the parts look like.
First part to be assembled is the steel super structure.
Next is the roadway section.

That would make a good excuse why no cars are moving on the road.

I begin removing the foam
Do test placement of the bridge.
A look from above. At this time I was thinking I could salvage the track.

Remove more foam so the whole bridge can fit.
Another test. However I had to remove the roadway because I still needed to do more removal.
