Yes you’re right. I didn’t even look at that one, probably off my screen at the time!Aren't there three Stockley flyovers? The original one, the new one immediately north of the old one, and the other new one a bit further east. Maybe the third has a different name. The first and third are box-type, as is the proposed flyover at Ravensthorpe on the Huddersfield-Westtown scheme.
It’s an interesting question, maybe a box structure for the furthest west of the 3 was going to be too wide. The curved girder bridge seems to be in two parts as well, leaving a massive pier between the tracks. I guess there’s definitely no standard solution…
I found there’s another obvious but slightly curved box section example at Reading, where the west curve goes under the mains which are on a straight viaduct.
