Easy choice, Rialto Bridge. (sentimental reasons)
Venice being my favourite city, I remember looking up at Mrs Shingle waiting for me on the bridge one day as I'd sloped off to take a few pics of the nearby fish market.
I can't remember ever being so happy.

For nostalgia's sake, I voted for the Millau Viaduct. I crossed it on the first day it was open to the public and still have my toll ticket.

The bridge that was sold to the Americans who thought they were getting tower bridge
Unfortunately for fans of comedy and stereotypes about Americans, the purchasers were completely aware of which bridge they were buying. They came over and looked at it and everything.

The external masonry of the old New London Bridge (not to be confused with the even older Old London Bridge that it replaced in the 19th century or the current London Bridge that's there now) is now in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. I gather it was pretty successful in drawing attention to the area and encouraging land purchases, which was basically the idea.

The Avenue then Maloncho
The bridge that was sold to the Americans who thought they were getting tower bridge
What, the one that was subsequently put up by four brickies, a plasterer, a sparky and a DJ?

That Whitsun, I was late getting away:
Not till about
One-twenty on the sunlit Saturday
Did my three-quarters-empty train pull out,
All windows down, all cushions hot, all sense
Of being in a hurry gone. We ran
Behind the backs of houses, crossed a street
Of blinding windscreens, smelt the fish-dock; thence
The river's level drifting breadth began,
Where sky and Lincolnshire and water meet.
