Thinking "outside the box" for a different type of "bridge."
Here's the 1997 Gold Half Eagle issued in support of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, DC.
The obverse of the FDR gold coin presents Roosevelt, in profile, facing right with the wind in his face on the bridge of the USS Houston, a US Navy cruiser, in San Francisco Bay on July 14, 1938. The original photograph - on which the coin's design is based - was taken as Roosevelt was conducting a Naval Review of the US fleet.
