Found this vantage point after seeing the bridge photographed from this point in a calendar.

Wikipedia:

The Astoria-Megler Bridge is a continuous truss bridge that spans the mouth of the Columbia River between Astoria, Oregon and Point Ellice near Megler, Washington, in the United States. The span was the last segment of U.S. Route 101 between Olympia, Washington and Los Angeles, California. It is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America.

I can see why you sought this vantage point - it provides an interesting view of the bridge. I like the top half of the shot with the sweep of the approach road and the metal complex nicely framed by the trees and the hills in the background. I'm not sure it works well with the dimly lit buildings beneath the bridge.
