Because both carried hot metal across the river. It was quite common for a plant to span the river with a bridge in between.

Right, but having the same name isn’t super confusing or anything.

these bridges were just factory bridges. So there was no reason to name it anything else. Cars carrying molten material just went back and forth.

I guess it would be up to the people rehabbing the current unused hot metal bridge to change it.
