This type of bridge was used extensively by the allies in WWII to quickly be able to cross waterways or other features that required bridging. The system was scalable, so the bigger the gaps then simply add more bits! This specific example is not very big and a bit run down but still a great demonstration of a fantastic system from a bygone era. I have seen similar bridges around the world in many countries, including as a main thoroughfare in Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands (in the Pacific)!
