Found the location on Google Maps: (Linky)

How very odd they say that the other bridge is the only way across yet there's another sturdier bridge Wonder if it's rail only as suggested? Hmm..have to find out.

I found this which states that the bridge on the right is the new bridge:

Maybe they did put some old caption found somewhere under some recent photo: also the "rail only" explanation would make perfectly sense, in my opinion:
though the old bridge and the new one path merge, at some point, they seem to just go parallel, not a perfect merging: in this case, Green=old bridge + road
Red=new bridge + rail


Besides, the widht of the bridge matches perfectly the darker strip after the end of the bridge:


Now, only some assesment on the actual width of the bridge & dark stip could help:
since the scale is known, this can be (roughly)done.



According to this very rough calculation, the width (Track gauge or Rail gauge) looks to be about 1/1,5 meters. In Finland and in Russia the rail gauge is 1524 mm (approx. 1,5 meters):

So, if the scale is correct, and if I'm not too drunk, NiteFlyer is correct: that's a rail-only bridge.

Gatagato your fantastic

stunning

[souris]

never get me on any of those

It's confirmed as Railway bridge:
see: The railway bridge through Vitim. Ж/д мост через р.Витим (БАМ)
Found some more pics, including a view from the botton of the wooden one: it seems to be stronger than it looks to be from the top view
