It would have been a horrid expense (well, the whole thing is a horrid waste) to twin the bridge over 101. Since the bypass goes over a mountaintop, there would have been at the very least passing lanes on both uphill sections. It looks to me more like they twinned so that traffic could safely pass going uphill and get back to speed downhill and stopping before 101 was just prudent to not spend too much money, rather than hedging bets. Just an opinion.
