About the Image(s)
I was trying to find a leading line from each corner to the highlight in the sky of the image. It was coming towards sunset and there was a break in the clouds at the end of the bridge.
I was using a Nikon d750 and a Nikon 24-70 f2.8 lens at 24mm, 50 iso, 6 second exposure and f11. I was using a 6 stop neutral density filter and a graduated neutral density filter for the sky as I wanted to blur the water and hold exposure on the sky.
For processing
In lightroom I cropped the image and straightened the Horizon. I then put the image into colour effects and used the detail extractor and the darken lighten centre, I then put the image into silver effects to do the mono conversion. Finally in lightroom I did an overall sharpening of the image with a mask.

Thank you for sharing.
The composition works well as you intended. The bridge create strong leading line to the sky.
This image has a mood - it give an impression that a storm is coming
As always, you did a pretty good job in post processing - especially the movement of clouds. I could not do well as this.
Over all good image. Well done.
This would be personal preference but the texture is too tight and it is a bit dark for me.
I am attaching what I did - just for your reference.

Haru's interpretation is also quite intriguing. He reduced some sky brightness, which might work in your version as well. The effect is that I feel I can venture forth with a poplin jacket; no heavy sweater is needed.   Posted: 09/04/2021 12:49:09

I look at this image and think about seeing it in a gallery, or museum and, with "Island Bridge" by Trevor Harvey on a small plague below it. I would probably see this a sunrise image, and I would think the storm is leaving, not arriving.
Having said all that, I am pleased with this image as is.   Posted: 09/18/2021 09:52:32
