    The picture is deceptive, those are solid concrete all the way down. If we're looking at the same thing.

    Edit:
    Oh ok, the things on top.
    Hmmmm, good question.

    Edit 2:
    If you look at the one on the right, there's plywood underneath it to span that damage. My guess they were just put there as a safety measure to channel vehicle traffic to the center of the bridge so no drunk soldier puts a wheel over the side.
