There is a shot at that location, but I find the foreground, kerb fence & sign post overly dominant. You could try burning in the sky & kerb darker to try & balance things up a bit. Like wot I did here. Hope you don't mind me messing with your shot. You are on the right track, keep shooting.
Follow Ups:
Now there is a rich contrast of black and white, -light and shade. What you see now is the 'lively' patterns of the foreground rail and the rich girder patterns of the bridge. You've made it exciting and 'arty'. This is what you see in photo salons. However you've lost Dmitry's original message, -an uncomfortable quiet dispair of isolation. Both are valid, but for different reasons. I think this is a good example of contrasting two types of photography, 'arty' salon photos vs. photo journalism. They have an impact on the viewer, but at two different levels.
I just turned it into a work of art, a bleeding masterpiece that he will sell & I get nothing.

*** just pass the Foster
Also taken from the [slow] moving car, about 1/2 mile away from the first one.
To get good shots you have to get out of the bleeding car............watch them foregrounds.................some of that salt will come in handy for Victors wounds...hehe
