Looking for a bridge!

Although I'm not too confident at getting the response I'd like to hear, I'll give it a crack anyway.
I'm in the process of replacing single track with double track. Thus far finding appropriate 2 trk bridges/viaducts
has been relatively straight forward. However have come to a section where the I've used a 'US steel bridge SG06', although
the present bridge is aesthetically pleasing, there doesn't appear to be a dual trk version in that series of bridges(!?).
As the attached image demonstrates the steel beam type bridge/piers works, so if poss I'd like to retain the present type of bridge structure,
but one with dual tracks, as well as the steel piers. DLS Searches have been vain, as such I'm open to any suggestions from Forum members that maybe forthcoming.

Cant you just place a 2nd bridge spline beside it? If not. Try out some of the yr bridge assets by wawasoo or I think colorado71 has a dual track wooden bridge with steel supports. Only one track is there and the other has to be laid manually.
 
Would a dual track version of that bridge support two trains. Why not just have a short single track section over the bridge.

Not an exact match but close, (you could try PMing colorado71 and see if he has the SG 06 in 2t, he is still quite active)

One has a max height of 32m the other 48m. These have one track built in, you will need to add the second. (I think the track is on the DLS) Edit: I was wrong track is not on DLS but any "rail only" or "bridge track" that matches your existing rails should work.

If you wanted something interesting you could do a gauntlet track, some roads did that when CTC was added to DT lines (take out one of the two bridges and route both tracks over it). Some also did it just to avoid building a second bridge to carry the second line.
