concrete structure on the Wilkes-Barre Connecting Railroad bridge

This is the Wilkes-Barre Connecting RR bridge, known as "The Gauntlet" on Norfolk Southern's Sunbury Line. It has this interesting concrete structure on the Kingston side of the bridge. It's the only one like it, and it has "1949" in the concrete on the top. Does anyone know what this is? I know there have been several bridges at this spot. If it's an old bridge support, why was the top part added in 1949? Please leave a comment if you have ideas or info.
