Have a look at this diagram:

The red bit is the new dive under. The yellow bit is the existing
flyover. Ignore the red cross.

By where it says DLT 1 there's some hatching on a section of the
eastbound track, which is the bit to be demolished. Below the hatching
are the two westbound tracks. One of these will be used temporarily to
get eastbound trains from the flyover to West India Quay. And that's
why they've made the two westbound tracks merge before they get to
this area.
