Second shot is lovely, except for the blown out midday sky. I think it could be saved by simply cropping down to the roof lines to eliminate the sky altogether (and take the appropriate amount off the right side to maintain aspect ratio). Third shot is outstanding as is (less the tiny little bit of sky problem at the top right (same solution as # 2). Forth shot, I'd personally prefer to see it without the truck and pedestrian, but that's just me. Fifth shot works well as it is. It's a bit centered, but I don't think it detracts in this case, and I wouldn't want to lose the blue sky by cropping. The very first shot, I just don't find interesting compositionally, I think it might be worth revisiting during a morning or evening when the light is softer/warmer and really taking some time to explore the angles. I'd also try different zoom lengths focusing on specific areas of the bridge to eliminate distractions along the top (cars, power lines, light poles, etc...)

I agree with jetrim for the first one. i see that the water level is considerably low, i think the shot would have work better with the water at its highest level, to hide the moisture on the lower part of the bridge.
