That isn't tagging reality, the bridge doesn't have multiple ways
there isn't even physical seperation on the bridge itself between most
of the lanes when the lanes shift, it's simply lights above the lanes
indicating direction.

1 bridge, multiple lanes. How much simplier do you want it?

There isn't 2 bridges please show me the second bridge because I'm
sure it will be news to at least the 4.5million people in Sydney at
the very least.
