That thing which you have just marked with a red arrow looks very much like an articulated lorry like Morrisons currently use.
This is an analogy,  it looks like a 40 foot long container.
I have enlarged it.

Yet again you have edited a posting. The sentence starting 'this is an analogy.........' wasn't in your original.

The Carrick rope bridge at Portrush N Ireland (I know that is not the bridge we are looking for) was originally built by fishermen to check their salmon fishing nets.. I wonder if there is an equally obscure reason for the building of this bridge..

If you follow the tide line in from the left where the rocks enter the sea there seems to be, just above the tideline an unnatural flat surface with a conspicuous triangular "rock" at the top. This looks man made to me.

I would add that the "handrail" looks to me much to large a diameter to be a handrail.

Could it look too thick as it is the rail on both sides of the bridge running parallel  :-\



Looks more like an Eddie Stobart lorry to me.
With big Jim driving.

Is there a name on the cab  ::)   ;D

It could be, but cazzas last picture with the red arrows on is a bit clearer than the first, and at the left hand side where it meets the wall it seems to be a singe rail, it does look more like a pipe to me.

Please tell me you're joking?
    If you disagree  with my interpretation of the object as being 40 feet long  and 8 feet deep by 8 feet wide,  please give us the benefit of your views,   but perhaps you were unable to enlarge the image?

I don't see anything at all pipe-like about this footbridge, nor does the hand-rail look out of proportion to me. The surface of the bridge has spaced out boards - you can see their shadows on the beam below.
