I am not certain of the function of the flyover but I think that it allows down suburban trains from Kings Cross terminating at Welwyn Garden City, that arrive using the down slow track on the left side of the photo, to return to London using the up slow track on the right by crossing but not actually touching the up and down fast tracks of the East Coast Main Line in the centre. Some confirmation or not of this would be welcome. Apparently the flyover was built in 1976. This view was taken from Image Update 13 May 2010. A correspondent has confirmed my thoughts regarding the purpose of the flyover.
