The first 2 you posted are both from the late 1950's.
The first one was constructed 1957-1958 above the Richmond-Petersburg Tpk. What's there now is actually a reconstructed bridge on the original support columns. Here's an example of what the original railings looked like (just south of Brook Road):

The second one was constructed 1958-59 and is indeed an original for that section.
