I can't help myself from finding Pont Jacques-Cartier here to be my favourite bridge to look at.
Unfortunately Montréal’s bridges are not very well maintained and always look ready to collapse.

My favorite is definitely the Brooklyn Bridge

I also like the famous bridge in Florence (sorry don't remember the name), the famous bridge in Venice (sorry, don't remember that one either lol), and the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

Erasmus bridge is especially nice to see in the dark with the lights on. In daylight I think it isn't that special.

From this in the poll, I'd choose Millau Viaduct for many reasons: height, technology but to me the most important to me is appearance, and this one in Millau looks so light and is beautifully composed with the scenery of valley. Chapeau bas!

But in general I'd rather choose Charles Bridge in Prague, very magical place!

There are better bridges in the world then the Sydney harbour bridge. I like the Rion Antirio bridge in Greece. It looks beautiful.

IMO, the Sydney Harbor bridge is pretty average. It's in a fantastic location, but the bridge itself wouldn't be iconic if it was somewhere else.

Way too many bridges to choose from! Actually, my favourite that I've been over, since i Haven't been over that many bridges, would be the Alex Fraser in Vancouver which goes from Richmond to Delta... I think it's a beautiful bridge. Pretty average actually, but still beautiful
