Track separation on Atlas & Kato Bridges

I'm getting burned out on building turnouts, so, I think I am going to switch gears and scenic the Rock River crossing between Franklin Grove and Nelson on the UPRR Geneva Sub. For the bridge crossing I was planning to use the Atlas code 55 double track through plate girder bridge kit and the Kato double track truss bridge. Does anyone know what the track separations are on these two bridges? Do they match up and if not, can they be easily adjusted to work together. Or, are there any other bridges out there that might work for this application??
Thanks
Daryl

Daryl .. I don't have measurements handy .. but I take out the existing Kato trackage, and replace with ME bridge track .. there is enough wiggle room on the Kato bridge to make it work ..
Another option is the Walthers bridge ..

Kato double track bridge spacing measures 1.29 inches (just shy of 1 5/16)
