View of the two bridges. The original bridge is on the right. The view shows the different structural form of the two bridges, although the profile of the arch is almost identical. The original is of box girder construction in true arch form. The later bridge is in the form of cantilever piers with a separate supported central flat span section.

The original is of box girder construction in true arch form. The later bridge is in the form of cantilever piers with a separate supported central flat span section. This results in a flattening of the profile of the arch compared with the original bridge.

Excerpt from Wikipedia

Clifton Bridge is a road bridge spanning the River Trent and carrying the A52 road to the west of the city of Nottingham, in the county of Nottinghamshire, England.

It was completed and opened to traffic in March 1958 and is constructed of pre-stressed concrete. It is the next upstream road bridge from the older famous Trent Bridge. Clifton Bridge was initially built to relieve traffic pressures on Trent Bridge.

One of the bridges over the Trent at Clifton Bridge includes a section of the former B680 (which followed the route into Nottingham now used by the A453). The 275 ft east bridge was formally opened on 5 June 1958 by Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy. At the time it was the longest pre-stressed concrete bridge in the country.

With the addition of the west bridge the crossing became a dual-carriageway as the A614 as part of a 1 1⁄4-mile (2.0 km) £3.2 million section (equivalent to £41,469,932 in 2018), opening in 1972.

The bridge is also open to segregated pedestrian and cycle traffic.

In 1994 a survey revealed corrosion damage to up to 25% of the pre-stressing wires. The bridge was strengthened by post-stressing with additional external cables.
