that doesn't really work. the transmission lines crossing the inlet have no relation to the power for SkyTrain. the voltage is wrong, and the current is wrong. it both needs transformers to step it down, and a rectifier station to change the current. there is no reason a bridge cant have the transmission lines since the Massey Tunnel has high voltage transmission lines running through it.
the south side could be played around with easy enough. you just need gradual sloping, long tunnels for the railway, and moderate tunnels for SkyTrain. the electrical lines can handle anything as well as traffic. but on the north side, i dont see how the railway would accept a higher bridge since its much lower there. there would need to be some major railway viaducts. there is also a rail yard close to the crossing which would need to be accounted for.
realistically the railway isn't moving/changing. only the road and electrical can.
