Uh there’s a bridge in Brooklyn that has something to say about that “first”
It’s double decked (in that there’s a public walkway above the roadway)
It’s also suspension and cable stayed, because suspension bridges at the time were having stiffness problems, so the Roeblings added a cable stay system overlapping the suspension system.

Brooklyn Bridge was built to carry rail, and I believe it did so for several years, though it doesn’t anymore
