Luke,i thought that was a boat but wasn't sure.Clark,that is an excellent illusion that makes it look like the boat's on the bridge.

I just happened to look on the map of this bridge and it looks like something is hanging off of the large truss bridge,not the small ones.Don't know what it is and maybe someone might know.
