This bridge over the River Hiz is actually more like three bridges. There's what looks like a lower, older one with a wider, taller one built over the top, presumably to allow the East Coast Main Line to be widened. Just visible behind the lower arch in this picture is an even lower one which I suspect was built to carry the branch line to Bedford. In the future it will carry the new Down Cambridge line up to its flyover.
