Nice shot, here’s my take:
Used darktable + GIMP.

Thanks for these shots. A black and white version. Successive black and white layouts give relief to the imageDSC_9982-art.jpg.out.arp (10.9 KB)

Here is my attempt to emphasize on the light/shadow threshold using artificial colors … nice words for the messy result ! Maybe using split toning and color correction is not the way to go on this.

Very nice image as a play raw @MLC. So many variations can be made out of this image! Here is one attempt to get the full DR of the picture. DSC_9991.jpg.out.pp3 (12.4 KB)

Another one. There are lots of cloud structure to recover!
As I don’t know the colour of the bridge, WB was done on the concrete pillars. Great RAW to play with

I decided to poke around the web to see other photos of this bridge, and none of the others I found were as interesting as these.

Well, thank you kindly. Although, I feel you exaggerate a bit. 
It’s actually kinda challenging to shoot and make interesting on a normal day. I also have my fair share of boring shots of the place. I think I just got extremely lucky with the light that time.
I plan on going back quite soon with my Mamiya C220 and getting some proper 6x6 exposures. I’ll be sure to toss up a few negatives for those interested in playing around with film in FOSS software.

As @Sunhillow I also tried to get some of the clouds back. But I only could do it in b/w.

I like the atmosphere in the image (that slight halo between bridge and sky and the sensor dust lower-right don’t bother me), somehow I must think about a ‘Batman’ movie

Yes, the halo is not really pleasing to the eyes. But I was not able to get rid of it.
Welcome! That’s a great B&W take.

My take. This was really fun! I added a tiny bit of yellow to the highlights, and upped the saturation of the greens, and added a LUT emulating Fuji Superia 400. I also increased the haziness with negative dehaze. I also used Filmic RGB.

Wonderful images.
Here’s a colorful take on the middle one, also slightly cropped:
