As per Gary's suggestion I did some more work to the bridge. 
Now it is time to start the the section that crosses the 2 track main that parallels the river. Just as before I measured and drew out a template of what I needed.
And built the section like my plains.
To illustrate the look that I'm going for I placed the tower side roughly in position for the next pic.
This bridge section is just over 100 feet long and 30 feet tall in the center. Unlike the towers there will be no splice plates at the joints so my seams are much tighter.
