Nice photo, Jimmy. Why do we have one steel girder in between? Can't this bridge be PSC throughout...

Nice picture with lovely colours.
The strength of the PSC girder is from its bulk (that protrudes below the top deck). The steel girder is as strong as the PSC but with lesser bulk, thus allowing a clear span for use by the larger boats that need to go on the other side.
The red and green marking on the foundation of the steel span is probably intended for the boat traffic - green channel (on the right) is the correct path to use. Water craft everywhere follows the 'traffic on the right' rule.

Great image Jimmy. You can't get such clear skies. This image clearly shows that you don't need high definition cameras only for taking good snaps/videos. You require a clear shinning pollution free atmosphere for getting good images/videos.

@ Apurva sir,Red and Green markings are indication of channel in any water ways for sea transport. Pl see this http://www.flickr.com/photos/34368672@N07/4119079016/sizes/l/
@ Jimmy sir, an excellent photo and perfect lighting . Kerala, is not simply known as "God's own country", but it is.

Thanks a lot guys. The bridge is in National Waterway between Kottapuram and Kollam. There is considerable barge traffic. So the middle span falling on the waterway is higher than the rest and is steel. See pics of another such bridge, but with two different types of steel spans:
