That's a pretty cool bridge! I have some suggestions:
1) the bridge is huge, but the water is small. If you turn it into a river or something, the bridge would make more sense. 2) The middle is unsupported! Add a column there. I marked it with red. 3) look at the yellow circles. Orange is your structure, red would be better looking I think, because the lines are continuous.
Have you thought about making your park less flat?
I was gonna comment before, but then I didn't because I would be way too picky being a bridge engineer irl.....
It's mostly a good structure. If you want to add a support in the middle as Liam suggested, go for it, but I don't think its necessary from an engineering perspective. There are lots of cantilever structures that have a suspended span (Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland is the one I always think of).
I do agree with Liam about the red and orange lines, especially in the parts that are over land on each end (which he didn't add lines to), and especially about the river.

The weird thing about this is your object usage and your textures. Really look into how parks (Download every single gold and spotlight from the past 3 years) use scenery objects, how things are layered, etc etc. Just demolish buildings in them and try to copy them.
I think that would teach you enough of the basics to start making good stuff.

I completely agree with Liampie's points. How about some more detail and/or rides on the outskirt lands in the screenshot too?
