Even a short stream like this can swell dramatically in prolonged wet weather. Logs, boulders and stones get washed downstream and could block the tubular channel under the road. The resulting dammed-up water could cause the bridge to be washed away so the designers have replaced the stone parapets with metal bars on each side of the road.
