MK125 Solder bridges

Good day
I am assembling my MK125 Light Sensitive Switch.
After soldering in the IC Socket, I have solder bridges between pins 7 & 8 and pins 11 & 12.
I can no longer see if there was an intended copper path under these bridges. In each case one of the pins has no other connections, so I suspect the bridges should be there.
Do I remove the bridges or leave them?

This the layout of the traces around the IC. This is a top view(as seen from the component side)
