I am looking for some kind of bridge overpass kit similar to the attachment below. I was at TCA York a few years ago and there was a person/company that make this style of kit for O scale but I can't seem to find them anywhere in my online searches or anything like it in o scale. If there is anyone out there that has a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and best regards, Geo.

Take a look at the Crow River Highway Overpass Kit. I believe it's #301-A.

I used the Crow River parts to make this bridge. I had to make the cross beams which was pretty easy.
Latest issue of OGR has a great article on making one out of foamcore insulation.
Thanks! These are all great suggestions. Lord knows I am no stranger to foam insulation.
Wow. You all need to look around this site a tad more. One of our sponsors above - Trainworx- has several of them and one is just like the one you are looking for.
If you're so inclined to 'scratch' something using foamcore, sheet/strip styrene or wood, etc., I can offer a suggestion to replicate the railings shown in your photo...
Find so model ship (old sailing variety) stanchions, like these. Space and place them between base and cap strips of styrene. place sections of the railing beween pillars. Paint a cast or stone color
Here's a station construction in progress showing the railings made as such...
I used 8 stanchions per section of railing between pillars. As the referenced package indicates they come 40 to a pack...which made 5 railing sections. Your photo shows similar proportions...requiring two packs to do the job.
Nice bridge, though!
I think I'd try scratch building something like that myself if the need arose. If you do the same, be sure to share your work with us...!
FWIW...
