I'm doing an internship myself and am more on the drainage/utilities side of things. But when it comes to structural, I've noticed no two projects are ever really the same. You can have a bridge thats barely longer in span then a culvert, another will be timber, another will carry a train, another will require different girder depths or perhaps be a rehab where the diaphragms are skewed, another will be super elevated with drastically different bearing elevations on the same pier, some will not require any scuppers, some will have scuppers at locations inconvenient enough to require design considerations, does the bridge need to be raised or lowered, etc.
There are a lot of variables and I'm sure someone more experienced then me at your office can go into more detail. What I mentioned above are just some and most projects will require different combinations of them.
If your interested, here is a link to a good book that was recommended to me. It does a pretty good job of introducing information in a way that isn't "overwhelming" for someone that isn't deeply involved or knowledgeable about bridges and structural design.
