~34 metres from the abutment/retaining wall on the west side to the footing of the tower structure
The standard lane width on that road with that design speed would be 3.75m MAX.
Lets go 2m on either side of that for shoulder & separation to reduce it to 35m. Might as well subtract medium barrier & shoulder Inside should @ 1m barrier system at .63m. That still gives me 32m to play with lanes.
Which, we could fit 7 lanes under the bridge at 3.75m width. Very easily. We are talking about 5 lanes max.
As for clearance, if they have already planned for widening in the design (which they have) they would have already accounted for the height clearance.
Baring that, you do realize that heavy trucks are also not permitted to use Airport parkway.
