Is this a string of poor decisions being made in the past or is it

No, it's a staged construction process. When the DLR first opened, it
was a simple two-way double track viaduct. when the junction was
rebuilt for the Beckton branch, the original tracks became two
westbound tracks merging at the west end, with the eastbound carried
on the flyover.

During the recent set of works, the first thing they did was move the
merger of the two westbound tracks to very near West India Quay,
taking the northern track along the viaduct out of use. That's since
been connected up at both ends to become an eastbound track again,
allowing the flyover to be partly demolished.

The flyover will be lowered significantly at its east end to pass
under the West India Quay-Poplar viaduct and reconnect on the east
side of the viaduct into Canary Wharf.
