Former cantilever supports? Sure are small diameter masts to try to support a cantilever....

You can see 2 horizontal rings undereath the WCH E bells that would represent perhaps OLD Cantilever bars, maybe like the WCH Setup. I can't determine another explanation for the reason those masts are so tall other than they were once cantilevers.
I can't really see that. Those are brand-new poles; this is a brand-new crossing. I think the reason for the extreme length is to support the extra-long gates (they have to block 3 lanes).
