The thing I'm wondering is if they took the downstream path with the curve... then would they be able to more easily integrate rail into the new structure with minimal disruption to the existing rail bridge?

two birds. one stone.

It seems that if they built 50m north (on top of the rail bridge) that there would be disruptions to rail traffic if they didn't replace the rail bridge, and disruptions even if they DID... this is even if there WAS room for the supports and abuttments.
