As I pointed out upthread,The guide bridge lines shouldn’t need bridges lifting. It was wired in the 50’s with the 1500v dc overheads.
There are two old arch bridges over the Stalybridge to Guide Bridge line. I don't know if they would need raising/replacing, but they only carry footways not motor roads.
The 1500V DC wiring did not go all the way to Stalybridge. It was just to provide a headshunt for the Guide Bridge freight yards.These bridges are beyond the limit of the old 1500V DC wires, which used to extend part way from Guide Bridge towards Stalybridge.
