More on the yellow bridge sides...
The first appearance of this bridge appears to be in the 1988 Suburban Train (Blue Line) DX Rail Road Set, where it is moulded in white.
近郊電車(ブルーライン) DXレールロードセット
It represents the Great Seto Bridge, which connects the Japanese islands of Honshu and Shikoku, and also opened in 1988.

When the parts were re-used in the Motor Tomica Loop Road set 7416, they came with additional yellow spacers which made them to fit onto the white road piers better, as you can see in the box-front picture in my earlier post. These have the additional benefit that they raise the bridge sufficiently that a train can pass beneath it. These spacers do not appear in the equivalent B/O Tomica Loop Bridge Set, and as far as I know are unique to TW7416.
