Bridges in Holland 1944.

Not sure if this is the right area but, attached photos sent to me from a friend in Holland. They are of Bridges over the Nederweert canal built by the British army. Hoping to receieve more info as to where exactly they are, and their class. Hope Sapper finds them interesting and tell me what the class number referred to. i.e. is a class 40 bridge referring to 40 ton weight limit?

caption on photo says the first bridge was built by 51 HD RE during the advance from Weert, Holland.
